On Rutgers' "Dueling Camp" - Ash Never Responded to Harbaugh's Invite

Submitted by EastCoast Esq. on

This is from a free article by Steve Lorenz on 247:

 

An interesting addendum to the above, and one that hasn't been reported: Michigan actually originally approached Rutgers about a camp at Paramus Catholic, with an aim for a "maximum exposure" type camp that would have had over 30 staffs on board. Rutgers head coach Chris Ash told Michigan that he would consider it, but announced the joint camp with Ohio State before formally (or informally) responding to Michigan's invitation. 

 

I am going to be very happy to see Michigan stomp Rutgers this year.

but wasn't Rutgers decent at one point when Schiano was there? I never followed them closely enough to care, but what happened? And by decent I mean win more then they lost...

Schiano had them in bowl games 6 of his last 7 seasons (incuding one 11-win season), and even Flood had them in bowl games for his first three seasons. However, most or all of these were lower-tier bowl games, and Rutgers hasn't had a lot of wins over quality teams during that period.

The eighth of nine colleges established during the American colonial period, Rutgers was chartered as Queen's College on 10 November 1766. It was renamed Rutgers College in 1825 after Colonel Henry Rutgers (1745–1830), an American Revolutionary War hero philanthropist and an early benefactor of the school. With the development of graduated education, Rutgers College was renamed Rutgers University in 1924. Originally established as a private institution affiliated with the Dutch Reformed Church, it is now a secular institution and became New Jersey's leading state university of New Jersey under legislation passed in 1945 and 1956. At present, Rutgers is unique as the only university in the United States that is a colonial chartered college (1766), a land-grant institution (1864), and a state university (1945/1956).

TBH even Rutgers' coach knows he's doing a disservice to local kids by recruiting to Rutgers.  If he cared for them he would send them to Princeton for a decent education.
