It's not a reflection or criticism of Rutgers ... It has more to do with the fact that Missouri is the only I-A and BCS program in the state.

Of course not, because it was one game on one day on one network. If Rutgers had been playing 5 games a year on the NFL network like they would have with a Big Ten network, then the cable companies would have been forced to pick it up.
