Rutgers is a good choice for a lot of reasons, but I really don't think the NYC market angle is one of them. I don't think the NYC market cares that much about college football, and they're not going to gain huge support just because they move to the Big Ten. If anything, the tougher competition might keep them from a BCS bowl run. The NYC market isn't going to suddenly lose it's shit over 3-5 loss Rutgers teams.

Michigan and Ohio St. coming to town will be nice, but there has hardly been a blip on the local radar when prominent programs have come there over the years. And Rutgers has been bad historically, but not Temple bad.
