Saw an article recently that showed 20% of the Big 10 area population is around Rutgers. No conference is going to pass that up.

How many are actually fans of the program? How many are going to tune in to a B1G game? The 20% speaks to the potential. I am willing to guess that of the 20% more are more interested in watching a Notre Dame game than RU, unfortunately.

Revenue sports are the reason many non revenue sports have been cut. Title IX hasn't helped either.

If not for “revenue sports”, wouldn’t all “non revenue sports” be cut?

They need to formally bifurcate Athletic Departments.
One for Football/Basketball and one for “other sports”.

Show the true cost to the school of the non revenue sports and stop penalizing the revenue sports.

Let’s see the school/tax payers/students fund non revenue sports directly and then see people complain about “tax payer money” going to sports.

For many schools, including RU, the loss of money from revenue sports has been so big that athletic departments have to look for places to cut costs. In addition the formation of conferences that arent geographically convenient has increased the cost of running non revenue sports.

Before FB and BB got big were sports ever cut?
