It's a common refrain around these parts: Football is harder to turn around than basketball.
I get it. Football has something like 85 scholarships to basketball's 13. Lots of people say all it takes is two great recruits and basketball is on it's way, but in football, it takes 40. I still get it.
But I don't buy it.
At least not here at Rutgers.
To talk about turning around a football team and a basketball team, we have to talk about what turning that team around means. In terms of basketball, it's easy, you're talking the NCAA Tournament (which, I remind you, RU hasn't been to in 25 years).
