Thought it was a given that Rutgers would be going to the Bronx. But this is either interesting or clickbait.
SIAP: Rutgers vs Kansas at Guaranteed Rate Bowl (Phoenix)???

I want to give 100+ likes to the post. Maybe Santa does exist.
Lol it's Jerry Palm. I'll believe we're are being passed up by the Pinstripe Bowl when I see it.
I like that matchup. Kansas has had a good run. And we need to avenge what I called the “nuclear bomb game to our program “ which was peak Ash moment getting absolutely destroyed at a bad Kansas team that year. That was the day he completely lost the team, fans and national perception all rock bottomed at once.
Maybe the Yankees are mad at us for pulling the Rutgers Football/Wrestling double header in 2017.
Already have my tickets.
I heard pinstripe doesn’t want us

Would love to meet up. We are in Sedona for the week. Easy drive for us
Now, now. What he conveniently leaves out is that he will already be there in the first place. Every year. LOL
And you were the first one I thought of when I saw this thread.
Hope it works out.
Yeah, but the matchup on the field would be nowhere near as intense as the battle between the Schiano vs. Leipold supporters on this board.
And in this case his name is Greg! Always working behind the scenes for the kids.
Brings back memories of Greg's first bowl with Rutgers in 2005 in Phoenix:
Nah, Harbaugh announced ahead of time he was going to teabag Rutgers, so we expected it and he ultimately delivered. Kansas was complete shock & awe. Then Buffalo followed up and strafed all survivors.
i would imagine NW would/could bring a big crowd to NYC, likely lots of local alumni

Do you think the Yankees and more importantly ESPN are going to skip over teams with winning records, more conference wins and take a team with 6-6 record, just 3 conference wins and on a 4 game losing streak?
Maybe for the Yankees kids, certainly not for ESPN who is actually putting up the money.
ESPN puts up money for 95% of bowl games. We’re gonna have to play in one if their tv broadcasts
So many of us were hoping that we could win another game or two to possibly move out of the Pinstripe, it would be pretty funny if we managed to pull it off by sucking down the stretch instead.
Phoenix was my absolute favorite of all our bowl destinations so far, by a wide margin. This just seems way too good to possibly be true

Ryan Hart played his heart out. Remember Teel consolingly him on the bench.Brings back memories of Greg's first bowl with Rutgers in 2005 in Phoenix:
Phoenix would be excellent this year!!!!!
We will. If they jump down to get Rutgers it's because their contract with the Big Ten expires in two years. No idea if the Big Ten will be extending it again with the addition of the West Coast teams. Again this will be more on ESPN choice.
Wouldn’t this be more of the pinstripe passing on us ?
Pinstripe passing on us seems far fetched unless there is something we don’t know about
They wouldn't be passing on us. They would be selecting the highest ranked available Big Ten at the time of their pick. We are the lowest ranked team of the Big Ten qualifying teams. We are the only Big Ten .500 team too. To take us it's like they are giving up two spots in the order.
Take a look a their website and scroll down to the bottom…you will see West Virginia and 5 and 7 Minnesota listed for outreach link…at first I thought it was not up dated from last year but then remembered Wisconsin had played…so did the bowl website people make a mistake and already posted something they should not have…does the Bowl Committee know about this…https://www.fiestabowl.org/sports/rate.
Pinstripe is not an ESPN events bowl. So they certainly don’t have the final say, as they do with 75% of the other bowls that they own and operate.
Pinstripe's GOAL is to have 4 different teams from 2022 - 2025. The requirement is at least 3 teams and never in consecutive years. Rutgers is prime for this game this year unfortunately.
