I think there are a lot of questions about Rutger's joining the Big Ten, but that's true of any team that joins an established conference like the Big Ten. It will be very interesting to see what the Big Ten finally chooses to do.

I think it would boost recruiting. NJ has a lot of talented football players that in the past have gone out of state to places like Penn St, Nebraska and BC. This would help keep even more players in NJ, plus RU has had a lot of NFL talent come out the past few years ( relatively speaking), so they are getting players, they aren't like a Navy where it is a gimmick.
