It’s a mental exercise: what if. Like what if Jim Delany never met with Tim and said, “I’ve got an offer....you can’t refuse.”
We're in the Big Ten. And we love it. We are happy to be a part of the premier academic and athletic conference in the country. We - Rutgers - are with our peers, our true peers in terms of size, impact, prestige.
But what if we weren't. What if, in 2012, there had been no offer. And what if now, in 2016 as the Big 12 is looking to expand, Rutgers was looking to find a new athletic home.
