They both would be over .500 in the PAC12
As far as football goes, Rutgers and Northwestern would be dogs to every Pac-12 team except Colorado. A bit of an oddity, the bottom of Pac -12 S and N, Colorado and Stanford had the FBS #1 and #2 toughest Sagarin strengths of schedule.

No conferences anymore.
I like it, DD.
Just like coaches and players move freely in college football, schools now should be able to schedule freely.
About Northwestern: The Wildcats won their first game of the season, a conference game no less, and then lost 11 straight games.
The Wildcats scored 14 or fewer points in seven of their last eight games.
Yuk!
NU went 0-6 at home and 0-5 on the road.
The team's lone win came at a neutral site (Ireland).
I have a theory about college football teams that bottomed out this year: The head coach, specifically, and the coaching staff, in general, did NOT work during the pandemic.
In NU's case, I believe head coach Pat Fitzgerald rested on his laurels when COVID-19 restrictions were in place.
He worked from home.
Haha.

BIRDIE singled out Rutgers and Northwestern in his thread title.
Big Ten opener for Northwestern next season: September 3 at Rutgers.

Exactly, the TV money in those markets are lucrative. What the teams do is really irrelevant.
Almost Allright
GO Bucks!!!
And now LA. As Hyman Roth said in Godfather 2…”We’re going to be bigger than US Steel”

What size Eureka tent are you wearing Railturd when you go out in public?
AA makes the winning point.
Northwestern markets itself as ""Chicago's Big Ten team."
Opposing teams visiting from Champaign, Madison and West Lafayette routinely outnumber Wildcat fans at football and basketball games.
So much for truth in advertising.

Yeah you are right Rutgers sucks in Hoops. You stupid ass hole
Rutgers head coach Steve Pikiell is outstanding.
His contract runs through 2030.
Pikiell played at UConn for Jim Calhoun in the late 1980s.

Can you be affiliated in different conferences for different sports?
Rutgers football budget is minuscule compared to the other schools. They barely compete. Their football program needs a class step down but unfortunately I think they're locked in. Basketball, no problem. Their home court is huge.

Should the Big East get rid of Georgetown? Georgetown should get rid of Patrick Ewing first….
Sacrilegious.
Iverson, Mourning, Mutombo and of course, Ewing the Player.
Georgetown's rich basketball history and tradition should be embraced by the Big East.
Only takes a few players and a resourceful coach to turn around a college hoop team.
The program is a sleeping giant.
Unfortunately, so too, is its head coach.

Shaving the flat top simply added to the coaching voodoo.
