I’m of the belief that the conference did them know favors but tying a hand behind Rutgers’ back by limiting the shares for years. I mean, I get that they’re in a tough spot and all, but ffs the conference did them no favors by handicapping them in response to landing a record TV deal AFTER adding them and Maryland to the league.

I get that it’s more complicated than that; but come on. Don’t pretend like you added them solely for academic prosperity when IU is in this conference.

Honestly, the smartest move for them may be to just suck up being an FCS program with no ambitions for the next 5 years. Then invest heavily in a rebuild.
Or just go deeper in the red with a neverending vicious cycle.
In 10 years, their facilities will be out of date again.

With time potentially running out in Chestnut Hill, report says BC’s Steve Addazio interested in Rutgers job

The Rutgers head coaching job has been open for months now but it’s as if the search for a new leader of the program has been completely reset following numerous reports saying that Greg Schiano could not agree to a deal with the school to return to Piscataway.

As a result, there are plenty of names that have surfaced in the ensuing days with reported interest on either site of the table. On Tuesday it was Ohio State DC Jeff Hafley. Today? It’s Boston College’s Steve Addazio.

According to NJ.com:

Steve Addazio has expressed a desire to interview for the Rutgers vacancy, according to two people familiar with the coach’s actions this week, and Rutgers officials are also interested in meeting with Addazio, according to a high-ranking Rutgers official.

The Eagles’ head coach making a move to join the Scarlet Knights makes some sense from both sides. He’s 43-44 overall at Boston College, raising the floor of the program with five bowl appearances but likely on thin ice this year, with a new AD after failing to break past seven wins during his tenure. He’s from Connecticut and has extensive recruiting ties up and down the East Coast, especially in New Jersey, which would be a huge plus for the program trying to dig out of a huge hole.

I'm not of the opinion that Rutgers should leave the Big Ten, but if this is what they think is the solution to their problems, they can start packing their bags right fucking now.

Sad thing is, their first year in the conference they beat WSU in a bowl game. They get to and maintain that level, which they really should be able to do, they’re pulling their weight.

Wazzu was a "neutral field" opener in Seattle, which they did win. They beat North Carolina in their bowl.

That was with Schiano's seniors.

I refuse to care how bad they are until such time the SEC is forced to stop playing FCS schools in November.

Til then why would anyone want them to be anything more than the speed bump they currently are?

Their shittiness is alsp exaggerated.
See ACC ... look at GTech, for example.
They're bad... but the level of their suck is par for the course of P5 bottom feeders.

Rutgers fans, take a bow: Greg Schiano’s return is happening because you took action

Rutgers fans, this day is all about you. Take a victory lap around your living room. Throw some confetti at your dog. Take that No. 23 Brian Leonard jersey out from the back of your closet and wear it proudly to breakfast, to church, even to bed later tonight.

You did this.

Greg Schiano is returning as your football coach, and in the coming days, all sorts of people will take a bow for making it happen. Politicians. Boosters. Former players. University officials. The line for back patting will be as long as the line for tickets before the Louisville game in 2006, and to be clear, this deal needed help from all corners to push it across the finish line.

It was dead -- D-E-A-D -- a week ago today. Rutgers athletic director Patrick Hobbs had begun reaching out to his Plan B coaching candidates. This whole saga was spiraling toward the most unappealing ending, with a press conference to introduce someone who was likely dead on arrival as he faced the monumental task of rebuilding this program.

Then a funny thing happened. You happened. You freaked the hell out. You went bonkers on social media. You clogged the phone lines in Trenton. You promised $52 donations on Twitter until the total approached $400,000. You sent hundreds upon hundreds of emails, insisting that you were done buying tickets or making donations.

I have never in 25 years covering sports seen anything like it, and quite frankly, I didn’t think you had it in you.

Can you blame me? Over the latter part of this decade, this fan base has closely resembled the team on the field -- a beaten down shell of its former self. Ticket sales had plummeted. The diehards who kept showing up sounded defeated before the first kickoff in late summer, and three months later, were often wondering why they even bothered.

Then, just when people were finally expecting good news, the opposite happened. “Greg Schiano will not return as Rutgers coach!” our headline screamed last Sunday. Rutgers officials insisted behind the scenes that they were ready for the backlash, but over the next 48 hours, the vitriol and rage changed the narrative completely.

Cont'd ...

Less than a week before signing day and Devin Willock re-opened his recruitment.

The Paramus (N.J.) Catholic offensive tackle announced his decommitment from Penn State on Thursday night, and but also said he would still sign with a school on Wednesday’s first day of the December signing period. He had committed to Penn State on Sept. 1.

Probably flipping to uga but if schiano can flip a commit from the cult to Rutgers the tears at bwi will be extra salty.

I've seen links on Twitter and the recruits actually have 247 bios. Seems like a start. Tyreem Powell was a huge get for him.

Has he assembled any staff yet?
