Why should Illinois go? I get it, the football program stinks but there’s absolutely a reason for them to be in the mix because of the basketball program. It’s a good academic fit too. For what it’s worth, I would think Illinois is at least a top 15 public university in the country.
Rutgers stinks at everything but the market is insane. Nobody is checking for Rutgers sports though.
I meant strictly from a football standpoint. I’d actually keep Illinois over Northwestern but then again Northwestern will randomly put up a good football season. Honestly a lot of the B10 teams are typically decent/good in at least one sport and earn their keep.
