Have the stakes, and scheduling, changed a bit since then, though?

Good for RU.
Rutgers isn't spending $102 million on a stadium upgrade so their opponents can tell them where to play. They are trying to establish themselves as a legitimate football power, and playing away home games is not the way to do it.
Rutger's stadium is a very cool place to see a game, natural bowl and a huge student section. Giant's stadium sucks especially for college. I've seen OSU vs. Miami and ND vs. Maryland play there. Awful. Rutgers used to play Penn State at the Meadowlands every few years and it was nothing but a Penn State Recruiting tool. |

If this were an isolated incident, then maybe you could cut the domers some slack. But this has been going on for a couple of years. ND has started and backed out of talks with several schools because those schools didn't want to play one game in SB and one game at a "neutral site" like the Meadowlands.

Perhaps this will finally be the catalyst to start the movement within the Big East to grow a pair and tell the domers to take their basketball program, women's field hockey and all the rest and get the hell out.
Say what you want about Michigan, but I respect them as a rival and fellow Big Ten and CIC partner. I want to beat them in everything the way one wants to best his brother in everything--and then rub it in for good measure. Notre Dame is not a brother. Notre Dame is the insufferable kid down the block who--despite all evidence to the contrary--thinks he's too good for the neighborhood. You don't want to beat him to prove you're better and earn his respect. You want to beat him solely to inflict pain and reinforce the fact that he's nothing in your eyes!

The most recent turn down was from Ntre Ame, so you no longer get to cry about it.

Seriously, how can you defend a school consistently requiring other schools to bend over backwards to get on the schedule? Do you think Notre Dame would be willing to play a home and away with an away game at Rutgers and a "home" game at the RCA dome? Hell no. I mean, for a team that hasn't done anything worth mentioning for almost 20 years, the sense of entitlement and privilege is absurd. This is, by analogy, almost the definition of "old money".

The Domers have been living on a myth of quality football for a decade or more. Any AD in their right might should tell them to get lost.

Didn't see this anywhere. Pretty much sums up my feelings with the opening quote:
