The all-inclusive Rutgers dumpster fire thread...

[orangefog]

I figured you were a rutgers troll when i saw your repsonses. Can you tell me how to "Out Rutgers" teams? Does that mean losing to Umich and OSU 108-21 combined? Big10 aint gonna want those TV sets for long. LOL

Out Rutgers them. What a moron.

Can't beat them, but we sure can chop wood, whatever the hell that means.

I think “chop wood” is code for:
“Dive at opponents knees while they are in the Victory Formation”.

Yeah, sounds about right. Freaking scumbag.

And to date, they have succeeded! Not even UM, tOSU, MState, PSU, UNL, Wiscy, NWU, et al, can screw up their athletic department so bad as to perpetually lose tens of millions of dollars annually while seriously underperforming in what should be a natural recruiting ground...in all sports. I am sure what Schady meant when he said they would outRutgers the Big Ten was that they would be the biggest wasters of Big Ten revenue in perpetuity.

Never before have so few done so little with so much...

Schiano’s pitch to boosters: “we lose recruits, we lose money, and we lose games - please help us continue this tradition by making your pledge today”

We squander your tax dollars, now let us squander your private donations. Let's out Rutgers the rest of the Big Ten!!!

Shady's ride looks ashy.

 

[HtownOrange]

At first I thought this was a meme... Then I realized he was serious. But who recruited his players? Most were under the radar until offered by Rutgers then magically boosted to four stars.

The others were identified/recruited by SU, Pitt, BC, UMD, PSU, UM, tOSU ,etc., but Shady conned them to flip. How is he going to keep the good players who can make money elsewhere under an NIL deal, anyway?

I guess he can offer helicopter rides on the backs of New Jersey taxpayers.

Are you suggesting a supergroup? Rutgers can form a coaching staff of their recent greats: Schady, Ash, Flood, Schady 2.0,...

Haha. That sounds like a great name for a 80"s "Punk" Rock band.

He has no commits that other teams wants. Shady is just trying to pocket money for himself. He knows he'll be canned soon.

Rutgers dumpster fire?

Yeah, it kinda does.

Semi OT/tangentially related:
One of my favorite random place-name band names (also NJ) is:
Fountains of Wayne.

Enjoy the video for their iconic hit - Stacy’s Mom.

He isn't wrong. It's the new world we live in. Every player is on a 1-year contract. If you can't pay them someone else will. For some of these kids who may not make it to the next level this is the only time in their life they can cash in and make some money off their ability to be an athlete.

Agreed

But what players on Rutgers are people lining up to poach?

 

[oldpinepoint]

Well considering the number of transfers he is bringing in, not many.

 

[Hoo's That]

Probably onesies and twosies they'd lose even without NIL money.

Respectfully, while I agree that cashing in under the NIL is not a bad idea, perhaps the young athlete may wish to consider the original mission of the institution for which said young athlete plays, that is, to obtain an education to prepare him (or her depending on the sport) for life, making the real effort to "cash in" on one's time at university.

What made you come up with a response like that when I’m clearly clowning him for publicly crying and begging for help?

 

[hoopsupstate]

Average players are not going to be poached. If you have draftable players, they will be contacted. Rutgers players are safe.

 

[Stern]

Agreed

No clue. The point is any player they develop into a good player will be easily poached in time. I know it's fun to rag on Rutgers and laugh, I get it. Im there with ya. But if they develop an offensive guard or a RB or whatever into someone who is kinda good, there will ALWAYS be a bigger school that can get the kid more NIL money and have a booster through a shell business offer that kid more NIL money and steal them away.

That is pie-in-the-sky thinking. You are talking about the 1% of college athletes (or some % close to that number) who are worried about their education at 18, 19, and 20 years old. The vast majority of college football and college basketball players at Power 5 schools have eyes on the NFL and NBA. That's reality.

You can get a degree at any age in life, at that age its about cashing in and getting to the next level.
