Rutgers Scarlet Knights (official troll of PedSU)

On Nov. 6, 1869, Princeton and Rutgers squared off in the first-ever college football game. Nearly 148 years later, the powers-that-be in the sport are in the beginning stages of commemorating the momentous event.

The National Football Foundation announced in a press release that “[a] group of college football leaders announced plans today to launch a nationwide celebration to commemorate the game’s 150th anniversary.” The group will be headed by Kevin Weiberg, longtime college athletics administrator and former Big 12 Conference commissioner.

A little research found it was actually College of New Jersey (now Princeton) vs Rutgers Queensmen and since it was played at Rutgers they used Rutgers. And whatever he rules were Rutgers won 6-4.
Interesting read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1869_New_Jersey_vs._Rutgers_football_game' rules.

I'm thinking that the B1G, Ivy League, Rutgers, Princeton, and the NCAA should work up the 2019 schedule so Rutgers plays Princeton as a nonconference game in November 2019.

I could dig that idea. But I doubt that Princeton would get behind it. I get the feeling that the Ivy League seems to think that they're above everyone else. Why give anyone else a reason to think otherwise?
