Not only that, but even with the truckloads of money that the YUM Center deal and their boosters provided, Louisville was still the sixth and last Big East team to get a rescue to a P5. They didn't leave on the last train out, by the time they were picked up the last train had seemingly already left, and inexplicably someone ordered a special diesel to go back and scoop them up from G5 purgatory. They scored that saving goal deep in stoppage time.

IOW's, a big dollop of luck in addition to a big dollop of money. That might be hard for any current G to duplicate.

So it seems Rutgers was in the same category.

Louisville worked to save itself. Rutgers got lucky because of a TV market that made cable TV money for the B10 Network. They have the largest subsidy from the schools budget to play football in the P-5.
