So would I, I love the Rutgers story. I like how they're turning it around after being the butt of college football jokes for so long.
But the thing is... ESPN needs to talk about good teams in the greater New York area. It's ESPN's biggest viewer base, by far. And when ESPN talks about a team a lot, that team's stock tends to go up. Last I checked, the Big East is still a BCS conference. This gives Rutgers a very good shot of making the national title game if they go undefeated.
