When it was announced in November of 2012 that Rutgers University was invited to join the Big Ten, one thing that was said over and over by the Rutgers AD at the time, Tim Pernetti, Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany, and just about anyone you spoke with was that Rutgers was a good fit academically. All recognized that the sports side would take time to catch up to the rest of the conference. Although we are still waiting for that to happen, it is again clear that as an academic institution, Rutgers was clearly on a par with the rest of the schools in the Big Ten.
That’s Right, Academics At Rutgers Matter Too!
