"Up next, Rutgers to the Big Ten."

Hate to break it to you, but it's looking more and more like the Big 10 might stay at 12 so they can have a conference championship. If they were going to expand further, they would have probably taken Missouri also.

I've never understood the fascination with Rutgers. People say its to get the New York market, but does anyone in New York City really care about Rutgers? It sure doesn't show up right now. It's really a sad statement about a school when all that's said about why a conference wants it is because it can deliver a market. Not because it has a good program, good academics, good fanbase or good traditions. I understand that Rutgers is credited with hosting the first collegiate football game, but that's not tradition really. That's just a historical footnote.
