tallsy {l Wrote}:Bates should be fired just for scheduling Rutgers. As I've said before, if we can't get at least mid-level P5 teams there are intriguing road trips that are better than Big East retreads.

This is complaining just to complain. It's 10 years away, you have no idea what either program will be. Name one of these "road trips" you reference that would move the needle and make up for an inferior opponent. Outside of the aforementioned Army (which I completely agree should be on the schedule more regularly), people aren't going to make a trip to see BC play Tulane simply because it's in a good location.

They won't play Army as long as Corrigan is the AD. He got stiffed out of the AD job when Bates got it so he has no desire to deal with BC. Ditto Navy with Chet the Jet as AD. BC played them both yearly back in the day and the West Point trip was a great weekend in the fall. Also, the BC alumni association used to run a trip to New Orleans in the 70's and 80's every time BC played Tulane. They used to get 1000+ people to go on those junkets. I think BC should be what they used to be and what Boise became...play anyone, anywhere, anytime so long as it is an uptick in scheduling and makes the program more visible.

Rutgres Fan {l Wrote}:In all seriousness there is no reason to play them again. I like the East Coast thing, but why let them back in when they bolted in the middle of the night. Let them fry in the ACC.

CNJKnight {l Wrote}:So a guaranteed win against a P5 team in back to back years with the ease of traveling to the game 2-4 hours away isn't a good idea? You do realize they still come in to NJ and recruit whether we play them or not, beat them or not.

This works. All day on this. Schedule UConn next.[/b]

That was the 70's. The local whalepants could travel much easier, it was a different demographic. I'm all for opponents in areas with large alum bases, however, to think that anyone would travel to New Orleans in 2016 to see BC play a school like Tulane, is just incorrect. When BC was good I personally traveled often to games, but even in a year like '07, I'm not flying specifically to NOLA to watch BC play an AAC bottom feeder.

tallsy {l Wrote}:West Coast is much more expensive to get to. It's not a huge recruiting territory. Pac12 schools don't want to come to the East Coast.

Corporal Funishment {l Wrote}:Fun parlor game:

Is this Purdue series the result of Addazio seeking to find a terrible P5 opponent and succeeding? Or Master Bates trying to find a good P5 opponent and failing?

eepstein0 {l Wrote}:BC recruits NJ probably more than any other state. Scheduling 1:1 with Rutgers just makes too much sense.

Edit: I still have 0 interest in Rutgers but from the program perspective it makes a world of sense.
