[QUOTE="Techster, post: 969518, member: 360"] The funny thing is I think GT would have had much more success than those 3 in the B1G had we left the ACC. Remember, in 2013, that would have been the CPJ years. B1G is very similar to the ACC. 2-3 very good teams, but the rest are all fighting to be the best of the middle of the pack. Rutgers and Maryland were VERY dysfunctional for decades. Their admins and boosters couldn't get out of their own way, which led to on the field issues. Rutgers has finally put it together, and you have to give Greg Schiano some credit there. Rutgers is bowl eligible for the first time since ??? with a 6-2 record. Maryland is 5-2 currently, and they went to a bowl game last year. Those programs, though they might not compete with OSU and Michigan anytime soon, seemed to have turned the corner. Nebraska is dealing with similar things GT is. They're still fighting to get out of the Tom Osborne shadow (as GT is fighting to get out of the Ross/O'Leary shadow), and they totally whiffed on their savior Scott Frost (to be fair, it looked like one of the best hires at the time...unbeknownst to Nebraska, no one knew Frost enjoyed the nightlife more than spending his nights actually doing his job)...just like GT whiffed on Collins. Nebraska has a lot of resources, so for them it's more a matter of making the right decisions, which they didn't for a long time. Matt Rhule seems to have Nebraska heading in the right direction at 4-2 (2-2 in the B1G). Programs have to start with good leadership, and good coaching. All three of those schools were pretty bereft of both for a while. [/QUOTE]
