Think you're right. Meyer brought the SEC culture to OSU. I don't have any insight into how Tressel's academic emphasis was. I'm guessing it wasn't very good. Honestly, other than OSU can't think of a B1G school that doesn't. Rutgers is pretty sketchy. Just think how bad they'd be if they did emphasis academics.Both FSU/Bama great consistent football programs year after year. 99% of kids who go there not interested in academics but dream of NFL. Same with OSU. UM has academic goals for players. Tough to convince a boarder line academic kid to focus instead on a medical career. UM and Stanford almost identical in that aspect
Listen, I'm a Rutgers fan. You are sooo far off base with your Rutgers academic criticism that it's not funny! Yes, the BIG has great academics, including Michigan, but Rutgers athletics academics are very competitive. Just this past week academic AA status for fall sports came out & RU was tied for 5th in conference (may have been with Michigan). Last year we were tied for 3rd. Those are facts & there are many more! I forget the statistical rating for academic progress that is used, but RU has been in the Top 10 for at least 5 years & top 5 nationally a couple years, along with a school like Stanford.
RU had some major problems this past year, but academics weren't 1 of them. Even Asch's contract includes incentives for the ## of academic AAs he produces.[/
Sorry. I've obviously touched a nerve. I was referring to the FB players and how the coaches regard the education of their players.Listen, I'm a Rutgers fan.

Bush to FSU?? Really?? Read today's news. Walker to Bama tomorrow? We'll see. Care to give us any more of your Expert Insider predictions?So the first show has fallen off as predicted. Bush to FSU. Walker to Bama on its way although the NJ connection gives us a 10% shot in my book.
Wins the long, drawn out fights for these type of guys. Hope Im wrong.
Pours some out for our lost homie...no, it was reverse psychology a la BAW
Please tell us you aren't really that stupid....I know OSU hired Sciano to grab up Gary....but it ain't gonna work!
Heard that there was an unfortunate comment exchange between Buck fans that called out Gary's mother. Guess who showed up midway through the thread? Mama was not happy and took some pains to explain some things to our cow-tipping friends from the south. Just say, the interaction did not help OSU with his son's recruitment.I think Gary's mother pretty much put a harpoon into any OSU hope for the DT.

Schiano was hired because he is a brilliant defensive coach. OSU wont have him on the staff for more than 2 years. Gary knows this as does anyone with half a brain.
Schiano took a program allowing just under 400 points per season and by his 4 year at Rutgers had them down to being one of the better scoring defense in the country.... AT RUTGERS (186) In 2006 they were 8th in the nation in scoring defense. 2007 they were 30th and 2008 they were 19th. 2010 they were 16th.
Schiano being hired has merely opened a dialogue with the family.... unless Gary takes an official visit OSU has the same shot at landing him as they did before the hire, NONE. Should he visit OSU then OSU has a chance. But to date, no visit has been scheduled.
