PSU's helmet factor certainly helped. Rutgers is probably gone, had it happened there. I have to believe there is some buyer's remorse among the chancellors and presidents anyway. A Sandusky-like occurrence would be a good excuse, but precedent is set now because of PSU.



Being a helmet has its privileges. Everyone knows this.

Well, I still think the question is moot.

Michigan fans have begun to call Rutgers "Rutger," as if the original were a plural and they lost the privilege, and somehow this seems far** more demeaning and hilarious to me than tO$U or scUM. I won't be sad if it sticks.

**(I could never bold, italicize, underline and all caps that enough)

Of course it's moot.  Given the massive budgets involved among state institutions, you really think the B1G wants to open itself to that much litigation?  Of course they don't.  
Some type of institutional failure, of course, is a different story. 
But poor athletic performance?  Nope.  The B1G administrators knew that's what they were signing up for from the beginning.  They accepted it as the cost of doing business and moved on.

Rutgers with a good coach could be decent, like Kentucky decent.

Well see, that brings up an interesting point.  Say the Sandusky thing happened at Rutgers.  A school only added for dollars and faux-eyeballs....not a strong addition with a great history....what then?



I'd guess Rutgers would've gotten a harsher initial sentence and would not have been afforded the concessions after the fact.  They would've had no noble coach (O'Brien) to steward them through nasty waters and may very well have been cut loose by the conference.



Or I'm just crazy, right?  Rutgers + Sandusky = ?
Oh, well why didn't you stipulate that in the OP. That certainly raises the plausibility of this unlikely scenario. 
Two teams from the same division of the same conference in neighboring states both happen to have harbored a chomo on the coaching staff. 
What a thread!

They are definitely bringing the best mascot to the table.

Here's what would have happened.
NOTHING.
You know why?  Nobody cares about Rutgers.
Baylor covered up for murder and numerous rapes BY THEIR ATHLETES and nothing happened to them.  You know why?  Because hardly anybody cares about Baylor.  People care even less about Rutgers.  How many average people do you think know about the crime ring Rutger's football players had this off season?
Need another example?  Michigan State's issues.  That got some publicity, but it would have been much worse at a helmet school. 
Helmet schools are under a microscope.  Trade swag for tattoos?  HUGE PROBLEM, BETTER REVAMP THE ENTIRE PROGRAM.  Coaching staff doesn't fire someone even though they were never convicted of a crime?  FIRE URBAN, OHIO STATE COVERS UP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN!!!

The southern helmets aren't under the same microscope.

Shameless Jameis the rapist, Mixon's KO punch, Cam Newton, Miami's various shenanigans, and so forth.
