Rutgers AD Julie Hermann wants to create a 'Disney World experience' at games (NJ.com)

I got the scoop on Rutgers' new helmets:

This is just so delicious I don't even know where to start.

Ok, is Julie the RU version of Dumbo or is that Flood?

 

[HtownOrange]

On a lighter note, isn't Rutgers in the hole by $30MM annually and now she wants to add $60MM in expenses to build her Disneyland NJ complex? I'm not an accountant but I thought spending less while raking in BTN $ still would not break even, numbers guys, help me out here!

I guess at this point we have to thank Rutgers for giving us Julie Hermann. For years and years all they provided us with was an annual cupcake and stole from our coffers without putting anything in. Now with JH they give us endless comedy and entertainment.

Rutgers's AD look to recreate Two Girls One Cup atmosphere at home games.

"It's going to take the entire village." Yeah - village idiots.

"the one thing I promise you is that it doesn't matter how far they pull down on your athletic department..." - What the hell does that mean? Who is "they" and why is she admitting the athletic department is down?

Rutgers AD just gives and gives. Gotta love her for that.

She's been trying to paint the (local) (sports) media as being anti-Rutgers athletics. Meanwhile, the rest of us know that it's Rutgers' own representatives (coaches, athletics directors and school officials) who have continued to provide evidence of how not to run an athletics department. Maybe she'll find a way to slowly turn that tide. Admittedly, she's in a tough spot, but her comments and actions, so far, don't give any indication that things are improving. In fact, she almost appears to be a ticking time bomb... "<boom> goes the Rutgers dynamite".

 

[Scooch]

I just love that she's publicly admitting what everyone has known forever... That only by the grace of geography does Rutgers have a seat at the big boy's table.

As part of their new Disney World experience Rutgers should build an animatronic attraction honoring the brave Dutch settlers who founded New Amsterdam. They dock 50 miles to the north and Rutgers is SOL.

Hold on WE ARE TALKING ABOUT RUTGERS, RUTGERS...Allen Iverson

Wait... Isn't Toad on payroll?

In the idiomatic dictionary, her picture is next to "loose cannon".

I thought that was weird. Not the usual smoke and mirrors RU spin. She's obviously not a very good public speaker--lady needs a teleprompter.

She may be trying the old "When all else fails, tell the truth" tack. Obviously, she is easing into it, not jumping in with both feet at once.

If you sort by %subsidy descending, Rutgers is the first P5 school you come across as you scroll down. You then have to scroll by 44 more to reach the next P5 school... Maryland.

Bravo, Big 10! :rolling:

Plus the sharks smell big 10 money.

Bill to add political appointees to Rutgers board approved by Senate committee

They're going to have a very hard time competing in the big 10.

And tops in subsidy in terms of absolute dollars.

Way to go, Cable Box University!

What you are really saying is that Rutgers only brought in $32MM in real revenue and donations not made by the generosity of the student body and the taxpayers of the State of New Jersey. Syracuse hoops or football does that alone.

Impressive, Rutgers is going for the $50MM+ in subsidies. Congrats Rutgers! We've finally found out what you are number one in: SUBSIDIES! Let's hear it for the Scarlet Knights. (Crickets chirping in the background)

Strickland really made them salty

No wonder they aren't firing Flood. They can't justify the buyout. #CableBoxU

PSU fan on RU's free board just posted that another RU verbal commit has scheduled a visit to PSU, and it's not Hartsfield. If he flips thatboard will go in full mode meltdown.

I love taking a recruit away from rutgers.
