Rutgers is thought to be on the Big Ten's list of expansion candidates, and last weekend Scarlet Knights coach Greg Schiano, the featured speaker at a banquet in Pennsylvania, was asked about the school leaving the Big East.
"We're a member of the Big East, and that's really my concern," he said. "Certainly, I hear those rumors and all those things, but that's not my job or my concern. ... I'm going to leave that one up to our administration, and I'll go where they tell me."
Schiano was asked he if would support Rutgers moving to the Big Ten.
"I don't think I'm in the equation on that move. Like I said, I'm going to coach them where they put us. College football is really in an interesting time. There's a lot of talk and a lot of positioning. I think the next four-five years are going to tell a lot. Maybe sooner than that."
His comments start around the 1:45 mark.
Still don't think that Rutgers, other than their academics, will add much to the Big 10. They've only had one quality season recently for football, they're not all that great at other sports, and the Big 10 already broadcasts games in their footprint (NY/NJ) via DisneyCo and the Big 10 Network is widely available.
