[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 949927, member: 2957"] I read the article below as to what has the Big Ten brought Rutgers after ten years. This stood out: "Most of the outside focus on Rutgers joining the Big Ten centered on the costs associated with the move and the struggles most of its sports teams faced to compete initially, not on the ancillary benefits. [URL='https://www.nj.com/rutgers/2022/11/scarlet-knights-might-be-forever-in-the-red.html'][B]Rutgers continues lose money on athletics[/B][/URL][B] [/B]— with no end in sight — and the high-profile football team has struggled mightily." Rutgers maintains that the academic benefits of joining the Big Ten FAR outweigh just the athletics. But I wonder how many GT alumni interested in sports will support a conference that benefits the school and *may not* benefit athletics? I have no opinion and don't really care if GT joins the Big or not. I don't think it will be a panacea for the sports teams, hence my interest in comparing how others have done since joining.
