The all-inclusive Rutgers dumpster fire thread...

It’s my shift to monitor this thread.

please stop BSing. You don’t have any evidence of financial mismanagement. Do we throw around money like drunken sailors? Absolutely! We have to, in order to be successful in the Big 10. But we also receive a lot of money too.

We’re 5-4, playing a very difficult schedule, while y’all are 6-3 playing a much easier schedule. You better pray we don’t face one another in Yankee Stadium because the result won’t be pretty.

Lmao Al. Much respect to you and your loyalty to Shady.

The Joke is not on me Al. Hell, even your own board is sick of you. I also noticed you started three different threads about Syracuse in the last Month. Obsessed with us or what?

I saw that too. If you actually look through their SU related boards and count the amount of threads. It blows away this thread. It’s not even close.

Easier is relative, and we certainly don’t have any freebies after Week 2. The Nebraska game was a tough, hard hitting game, which they won 14-7, but took out a lot of our kids. Up until Saturday, we were playing shorthanded, which is when some of our kids got healthy. Now we hope we can go on somewhat of a roll, but it won’t be easy.

Yea right. Thanks for the laugh

Really? You ask about financial mismanagement when you have to check record from decades past to determine the last time the Rutgers AD was in the black? And the AD still takes student fees, too.

If not for the Rutgers bank and other state resources, Rutgers AD would have been down, many times over.

The AD's total debt will never be repaid to the State, the institution, the students. And this is with the B1G money thrown in!

Sure, the debts are generally cancelled as they will not be repaid but Rutgers' AD has been one long and egregious financial mismanagement scheme for decades. If the Rutgers AD was a proper business it would have been bankrupt many, many years ago and never resurrected. Only by using funds, and never paying them back, not intended to finance athletics can the Rutgers AD maintain operations.

Ridicule SU all you want, you are not a fan. However, the SUAD remains a net positive to the university bottom line and rarely runs a deficit.

Anyway, check the financial reports for the last couple of decades and see how the Rutgers AD was in the red annually. And generally more so than any other university. That is the epitome of financial mismanagement in the CFB world.

Our AD is run as a loss leader and will never be in the Black. Our President is on record saying as much. Doesn’t mean it’s mismanaged. The reason your AD is in the black is that Men’s basketball brings in significant revenue for y’all, whereas our men’s basketball team plays in a small arena.

Wow, he is real! All this time I thought everyone was making Rutgers Al up. I hope he keeps posting. This is a hoot.

He is a real person. The content is pure schtick though.

Do you know what a loss leader is? A major university's Athletics Department is NOT a loss leader. Think black Fridays specials. Rutgers sports do not attract students to the university, the academic strength or the loose academic requirements attract students, whichever the case may be.

Perpetual losses in the AD shows poor financial management. Having the AD that is perennially in the lead for the deepest red ink AD is the definition of failure and bankruptcy.

Anyway, it is good to have you stop by.

A loss leader is a product or service that a business sells at a price below its market cost to attract customers.

Rutgers Athletics is entertainment/service provided that will never be profitable. Our President said as much.

It’s essentially a marketing expense for us, which is supported by other revenue sources.

This reads … “the tax payers are covering for a crappy program” … you clowns actually owe money to your own conference. Just stop it.

My NJ state taxes should not be going to a "marketing expense" then.

I honestly respect your fandom for your Scarlet Knights. You are loyal to the end and wear scarlet colored glasses. I don't understand why you are a super fan, but I respect that you hold true to your team.

There are programs that are generally profitable or break-even. SU is one of them.

As for running an athletics program in the deepest red ink in college sports on an annual basis is a "marketing expense" then you have a poor understanding of marketing. How many kids attend Rutgers because of the football team? Throw in hoops and women's sports, too. Outside of the student athletes, you probably cannot find one student in campus that attends Rutgers because of the Athletics Department.
