    "Sportswriter?" Proposes Rutgers to Go Same Route and UConn in Football

    I'd rather be alongside our academic peers as an RU alum which are B1G schools. UConn is only Indy in football because no one above AAC level wants them for football and they went back to the Catholics with their tails between their legs to keep their precious basketball program from dying in a...

    OT: College enrollment and financial issues?

    The Big 3 in Florida (UF, Miami, FSU) are fine academically, even USF is solid academically. U of Tampa, UCF, FIU, FAU, etc are academic dogs and just goes back to the parents allowing their kids to make poor decisions or just enabling said poor decisions to justify moving to FL.

    OT: College enrollment and financial issues?

    The self loathing many NJ residents have isn't discussed nearly enough. Many people from this state wish they lived in NYC or Westchester County or the Main Line in PA in terms of South Jersey. And yes, many folks that took RU-NB for granted, treating RU-NB as a de facto safety school say, 15...
