Sounds like Rutgers is getting St. John's in the Big East-Big Ten games since Jerry said it's a bus trip. Maybe Providence or Georgetown too, though.

Is St. Peter's off Rutgers schedule due to last season's Peacocks win?

Neither providence, SJU or Gtown will be happy about drawing RU. Same goes for the school that draws us.

The challenge is beginning to shape up as a lackluster event. In contrast, this listing of Duke's yearly opponents in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge was posted on the Villanova board (as you might have guessed, people over there are not happy about drawing Nebraska). Duke has faced a ranked opponent in every year but three. And in those three years, they never faced a Big 10 bottom feeder. No wonder the event is going into its 17th year. The matchups are actually intriguing.

The original challenge. ..the BE/ABC Challenge was great and unique. Till BE coaches made the league drop out cause it was too hard...
