Bradley is already in so keep your eyes on the one from the A-10 or that Toledo guy.

 

[bac2therac]

two guys from Duke and Kentucky are all you need to know

Note how the ACC and Kentucky receive great seeds every year vs the Big 10.

I hope Mr. Pollard is the loud and argumentative type.
Of course I’m assuming he’ll be advocating for us.

Are you saying there's a quid pro quo between the two or they have much more influence over the Big Ten rep (Northwestern)?

 

[RUPete]

Richmond bias on the committee!

I thought Conference reps recuse themselves on questions regarding their respective conference teams and if they or a family member is affiliated with a particular school

Why Pollard (Iowa State)? Did you mean the Northwestern guy? Keeping in mind that NW voted against admitting RU to the B1G.

True for a conference commissioner, but ADs of other schools in the conference are ok

 

[ScarletDave]

Of course there is 1 guy on there from the B1G and he’s from northwestern. He will do everything in his power to convince his colleagues that Rutgers deserves a spot in the NIT

Why would Iowa State advocate for RU?

Why?

 

[Plum Street]

Do they have to recuse themselves when talking about their conference mates ?

No

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

The Southland commissioner would figure to be the only potential ally in that bunch so let’s just hope SFA continues to be the gift that keeps on giving to Rutgers by claiming that auto bid. Interesting dynamic with Duke and RU likely being the only teams they’ll have played in consideration for the field.

 

[zappaa]

Why would Iowa State advocate for RU?

Well I screwed up.
I’m sure the guy from North Western doesn’t hold grudges.
Damn 78, I read that thing three times and didn’t see State...you see what you want to see.

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Why would Iowa State advocate for RU?

Because we beat them in the Pinstripe Bowl and the NIT semifinals!

Along with everything else, the Bubble has burst. Good Luck.
