Let's be honest, the perception of Rutgers in the Big Ten has been shaped negatively over the past year due to the disastrous seasons of the football and men's basketball teams. Other Big Ten schools have bemoaned Rutgers being in their sacred conference and the national media and general public has referred to our beloved school as a "dumpster fire." (search on twitter, there are countless mentions sadly.) Unfortunately, over the past few years the basketball program, along with football this past year, scandal and losing have given credence to that opinion, and social media has certainly spread the word.
