Rutgers' big-time athletics remain focus of much controversy
"The 'new' Big East is going to be a quiet joke in higher education really," Dowling said.
The Big East isn't in the conversation, putz.

money:"I don't root for Rutgers to lose. I'm indifferent," Seclow said. "I want to see that institution regain the course of academic superiority. There is no question you can have both [big-time athletics and fine academics]. But New Jersey can't manage both. I don't know why, and quite frankly I am suspicious of anybody who does.

"Part of it has to do with the character of New Jersey. ... There is no polarity between Rutgers [and midwestern state universities like Michigan] because there is a culture of football in the Midwest and the South that doesn't exist in New Jersey. It seems to be a place a lot of people want to flee from."

Sell that shit to St. Anthony's, or a whole slew of highy school programs in the Garden State that produce top flight--and academically ELIGIBLE--players every ding dong year.

What is it you want here? Princeton? Then raise the rent.
