Neuheisel, who coached for 12 years at UCLA, Washington and Colorado, believes conference realignment could boost Rutgers the same way it vaulted TCU into a national contender. The Horned Frogs, who transitioned from the Mountain West to the Big 12 in 2012, finished sixth in the rankings for the four-team playoffs last season.
"Other than TCU, I don't think there's a team out there or a program out there that has benefited more with all this conference realignment than Rutgers," Neuheisel said on SiriusXM College Sports Nation last week. "Whoever was behind the move to get them into the Big Ten, they should build a statue, because this has a chance (to be successful) should they find the support that all programs require to go to the highest level."
"I'm just telling you, this has a chance to be really, really special should they get that requisite amount of support," Neuheisel said. "They don't necessarily have the tradition that the other teams in the East have, but they have a population base and now they have a seat at the table. Just as we've seen the rise of the Horned Frogs, do not be shocked if the Scarlet Knights follow suit. I just think there's reason for optimism and it's absolutely found money."
