    Whipping Boys

    Its going to be difficult to keep the momentum going even after good seasons. That takes fan support and recruits. Rutgers needs a leader, someone who can sell the program. Might be too soon to label Ash a failure because he could still grow into that role.

    Football STORY - Six missing from Camp

    Do you mean MSU? Im not aware of any scandal involving Michigan.

    Transfer Candidate: Corey Bolds

    Or he told him his place on the depth chart. A guy whose only in school to play football might want to go somewhere else, if he knows he has no shot at playing time.

    How will Penn State be when Joe Moorhead leaves after this season?

    Schools wont pay that though. Only boosters will or else the coach is staying.

    How will Penn State be when Joe Moorhead leaves after this season?

    I dont think Moorhead has the necessary charisma to be a head coach at a major program. Now if he's offered $2-$3m to coach at Kansas or TTech, he would probably take it, but so would any OC who isnt being considered for the elite jobs.

    Franklin running up the score

    Theres a different standard of conduct when a coach or program is successful. Happens everywhere. Easy to fire a coach at a losing or .500 program for uncoming behavior.

    B12 Expansion Is A GO

    Im pretty sure they would add WVU again if they are now considering a 5th Texas school (cant believe UT is considering this) and BYU. What they do regret is not adding Louisville. I kind of wonder why Texas is so content in that conference unless they also have their strings pulled. It didnt...

    ESPN buys second half of B1G rights for $190M/year

    That was Rutgers bargaining position at the time. Maryland I dont believe had to pay a buy-in because of their exit fee in the ACC might have prevented them from wanting to leave, so the B1G let them get a full or much bigger percentage than Rutgers. Rutgers had no such misgivings of wanting to...

    Cincinnati & UConn frontrunners for Big XII expansion per article

    UConn joining the Big 12 would be suicide for that conference. Same with Cincy. This has to be some contingency plan for when Oklahoma and Texas leave.

    OT: Should (Could) RU Ask For More $ Up Front From B1G Now?

    Thats because one school had a much better bargaining position than the other school. Rutgers has potential because of its recruiting grounds. It also depends what you mean by hole. Basketball can improve swiftly with a good recruit or two. ;'

    Schiano to OSU replacing Ash

    Schiano's been out of the loop for awhile. I dont see it as a game changer for Urban in NJ. The same thing was said when LJ was hired a few years ago. PSU has done pretty well head to head on DL recruits.

    Current state of northeastern football

    Leftout WV. But Penn State is typically the only eastern team that gets ranked every year. Other schools maybe once or twice a decade.

    Because this is Rutgers, here is what will happen

    Im thinking they fire Flood at the end of the year. If there weren't multiple player arrests they might fire him now, but the team needs stability at the moment. So they may clean house after the season. Then the issue is does Julie find a competent staff to replace them?

    Temple's HC Rhule should be on everyone's short list....

    Rhule wont be an option for PSU next year or probably not the year after. Franklin just needs to find a competent OC and PSU should be improved.

    OT: Miley Cyrus

    She'll last, because roughly 10 years of Americans grew up watching her on tv every day. Thats part of what makes her so annoying. She wont go away.
