I'm glad the Rutgers strike is over.

1. I remember when Rutgers joined the Big 10...

what was it, about 25 or 30 years age? I was surprised as Rutgers, an eastern school, was never a big football school able to compete with the mid-westerm football factories in the Big 10 like Ohio State and Michigan.

Someone must've sold them on the big money the would get from gate receipts from the games. But those schools have huge stadiums holding 100k seats or close to it. Rutgers doesn't. And being not a football power, they can't recruit the top athletes like those long-time football powers can so they'll be losers most of the times.

Guess joining a major football conference didn't work out. They probably should've joined a mid-major conference with schools like them if they were so determined to build a football program.
