They should have added Missouri instead of Buttgers.

Missouri wasn’t available when Big Ten expanded with Maryland & Rutgers, Zibby. The Big Ten tried to go after ND, UNC, and UVa, and was unsuccessful.

Celebrate your victories, acknowledge your defeats, and never blame a member of the team.
It appears Delany has forgotten that! And he's forgotten Truman, "The buck stops here."

Rutgers Al doesn't approve.

Rutgers “belongs” with Syracuse, Boston College, Pittsburgh, etc. They’ll never be a good B1G fit. I’m glad for them because they’ll never be expelled and the next generation will never not know them as a B1G school.

Maybe (and I'm going about this spin as a B1G homer) he's taking a not so subtle shot at Rutgers hoping they'll get their **** together.
On the other hand, he seems to be pleased with Maryland.....
Silver lining.

At this point the Rutgers University Athletic Department's mission statement has been boiled down to "1) Collect beatings 2) Collect welfare".

After acquiring Maryland and Rutgers, each B1G member is now making over $50 million in television revenue. Somehow, I don't think Delaney, the B1G or even Rutgers cares.

Well, Delaney mentioned it, so it appears he cares.
Look, we all know Rutgers was added for BTN purposes in the NYC area. So nobody is saying Delaney's comment means that he thinks it was a mistake to invite Rutgers. They were invited to improve the bottom line, and as you note, B1G revenues have skyrocketed since they joined.
Nevertheless, there is a pride factor at work here. Delaney knows that around the nation, Rutgers athletics has become a punchline, and that irks him.

The 50 million is more than just the TV revenue. It's everything- NCAA money, CFP money, Bowl money, etc. It's the conference distro that they get now.

It was no secret Rutgers had a lot to do to even get the looks it did. The Big Ten assumed a lot of risk with this school. It turns out they may not have vetted them as much as others thought.
What a cheap shot.
But, hey, you didn’t want Pitt, Missouri, or Syracuse. You HAD to get Rutgers in there. Right.

He's mad at himself. Rutgers worked for a revenue boost last TV deal. Rutgers and several other Big 10 schools will be a detriment next time out. Content is going to reign supreme (with the T3 excepted) in the next set of deals.

On the flipside, you need "bottom feeders" to prop up the top teams (only so many losses to go around). If your bottom tier teams can also bring in money, that's a good thing I guess.
Let's put it this way, if for example you swapped out Rutgers for say Notre Dame, then either Notre Dame would no longer be a top tier team (on the field), or one of the teams currently at the top, would be bumped down. Sort of a zero sum game, with 9 of 12 games being within the conference.

Well, they'll have to agree with you from their couches during the playoff this year.
