Dear Jim Delaney,

[rucoe89]

Sorry about out putrid performance once again. We realize that we make the B1G smell as good as a windowless and ventless room full of attendees at a blue cheese convention. At least your elite teams, which are basically everyone but us, can freely pluck talent from NJ, while we look elsewhere for players that the rest of our conference mates can abuse. So, while we continue to employ a football coach that fails to understand that your QB has to have an arm to make throws at this level of football (or for that matter even high school football), at least you can look forward to our Men's Basketball program (for which we likely will need to write another apology letter).

Sincerely,
Rutgers Fans

P.S. Those B1G checks don't have any strings attached like actually having to be competitive, right?

First spell his name correctly. It's Delany. But I do appreciate your post.

how great would it be if Delany called Barchi and was like, here's the deal - you guys are making us look bad, invest in the program, or we'll retract your membership before you're fully in.

bet your a$$, we get a new coach in a week

Seriously? Delany doesn't care. Someone has to be worst in the league. What difference does it make if it is us or Indiana.

Actually Barchi would not be opposed

I was thinking the same thing. The B1G family should come together and put us on probation. Maybe the state will wake up.

i mean the scandal alone... to start the season the Big10 had to be in national news because our coach is an absolute idiot and unethical.

He's loving it. The thought of the Jersey boys replenishing OSU and Michigan while friends and family in the region watch has him a s giddy as a school girl

Any response begins with. "You may have screwed that rube Pernetti, but if you want us to act like a member of the conference, pay us like a myer of the conference. Or else see you in 2022."

How about he loosens the purse strings and doesn't make us wait another 5 years.

The league just added us, Indiana has been there for a century. It looks like a poor addition in the expansion age if we're a doormat forever. Possibly the poorest by a P5, irrespective of the large potential TV market.

Have you guys ever read any of the articles on big ten network revenues and ad rates? Jd loves us and maryland. The addition of these two team will do down as one of the greatest moves in sports business. Take two under performing teams and increase the network of you network by millions

You people need to get a grip.

Purdue lost by 34 today and they have been in the conference forever.
