The War on Rutgers plot thickens

I'll stand firmly in the "So what?" camp on this.

I guess I understand why Rutgers would think it's a good idea to "boycott" the PC camp at all.  Go to the camp, get in front of all of the best recruits in your state, and use Harbaugh to attract talent that you wouldn't otherwise see.

To walk away from that or compete with it is just stupid.

to try and field a competitive football team. So best of luck to them.

Wonder what kind of reception Greg Schiano will receive on his return to NJ.  Will he help attract players to the FD camp or send them to the PC camp?

now let the kids decide . this is the way it should be. that is what jh said. it is for the kids.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see the big deal here.  Ash is doing a wise thing -- he's co-sponsoring an event with a bigger name school with which he has obvious ties to lure as many local prospects to his event as possible.  I would do the same thing if I were him.  And Michigan is doing the same thing as OSU with Durkin and Maryland.  It's a competition, folks.  May the better team win.

I get what Rutgers is doing, but it just comes off as petty. Just have the camp in the morning and then the kids will be able to attend both if they choose to do so. I also dont understand why you would team up with OSU. I know they will attract big name kids but 99.9% of said kids will not be interested in your school. Lol Rutgers.

This feels like the time the Brittish declared war on Zanibar. The whole thing was over in 40 minutes.

I picture Urban (daddy) giving Ash a two colum list, one colum showing him the players OSU is going to activley recruit and the other colum will be the players Ash is allowed to recruit. 

I guess Ash thinks he needs to make headlines to help elevate the profile of his program. This is probably true, but the way he's going about it is petty and alienating the top HS football program in his state. 

I really wish you were Spartan Devotee. You would fit in quite nicely at the RCMB. 

it's pretty curious that OSU, Temple and Rutgers, which never had much presence in northern NJ suburbs, is now setting up a camp at Farleigh Dickinson, in Teaneck, N.J., along the Route 4 corridor toward the GW Bridge and Manhattan. Paramus Catholic isn't far away; less than 10 miles.

But the high schools in the area including the one I attended are not traditionally known for producing major football talent outside of Don Bosco Prep in Ramsey. Let them eat cake and pretend they are competing, The benefit of these camps is for the campers who attend and receive upper tier coaching, not the schools per se, except to get some program visibility. The kids are well aware of the major programs. This territory by the way has mostly been a Penn State recriting draw and secondarily to Rutgers, only as a fallback program, especiallly before the school joined the Big Ten.

Farleigh Dickinson is best known as a basketball school. So, the fact that they are hosting this event in a suburban industrial area of NJ next to Englewood, Englewood Cliffs, Hackensack and Hudson River and the Palisades where publc school football is not major bespeaks a reach of their own design.
