You really have no idea what you're talking about regarding many things, but particularly Rutgers academics, especially around it's football program.
Rutgers Football No. 1, Not in AP, but in APR
Ten years ago, Greg Schiano promised to win championships at Rutgers. Later Wednesday, the NCAA will give Mr. Schiano's program its first national title, of sorts. The Rutgers football team will be ranked No. 1 among all Division I schools when Academic Progress Rate scores are released. The APR gauges eligibility, retention and graduation of every athlete over a four-year period. Rutgers's football squad is the lone program from a state university to be ranked in the top 10 for the past three years and is one of just seven to both be ranked in the top 10 and win its bowl game over that same span.

Okay dead,
Can you point me to one article that talks about how Rutgers up’s the conferences profile due to it’s superior academics? Try not twisting what I said. What I said was that everything that is talked about in regards to why the Big 10 wants Rutgers is because it can deliver the New York City TV market for it’s Big 10 network.
I’m glad that they are graduating their football players. That’s a good thing. But that doesn’t point to good academics for it’s school. In your list you have Rutgers ahead of Northwestern and Duke. Do you really think that Rutgers is better than Northwestern and Duke academically?
