I wonder if he’s a true 4 star or just a Rutgers 4 star? I wouldn’t mind grabbing Duff if he portals.

He’s from just outside Atlanta, near Athens actually. Would assume because of that Fran would know if he’s any good or not.
 
Up to 13 Rutgers players in the portal today:

Running for the Exit? 13 Rutgers players enter the transfer portal in one afternoon

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights had 13 players hit the transfer portal by early afternoon Saturday. While it was unusual for the Knights to have so many players hit the portal at once, they did not...

Wouldn't be surprised if Delaware, which is moving up to D-1, ends up being home to some of these guys

The following thread has more than 25% wanting to grant an extension to Schady, disregarding the fact that he was extended to 2030 recently, has no schools coming after him, and has a history of a high water mark set at mediocre.

Give Greg an extension?
Yes Votes: 24 26.4%
No Votes: 67 73.6%
Total voters: 91

Enjoy.

Update: Should Rutgers give Schady another extension (while ignoring the obvious extension he recently received and has six more years to fulfill):

Give Greg an extension?​

  • Yes​

    Votes: 33 29.2%

  • No​

    Votes: 80. 70.8%

Shady has improved by three points just days after losing the bowl game. At this rate of increase, by February, the fan base will have returned to full delusion and be behind him 100%. Mediocracy runs strong in the Rutgers fan base.

So glad that Rutgers sees Syracuse in their rear view mirror; it’s awkward that they are returning to the start line instead of heading towards the finish line. I haven’t the heart to tell them. [heavy sigh]

With incoming freshman, the count at RU is around 130, and I believe the limit is 105, not sure
Like most teams, players not figuring on starting, or little chance of it, move on
I would think Syracuse would be in a similar position in this regard

The greatest Basketball team in the history of Rutgers! A team with 3 lottery picks and two top three players in the upcoming Draft is currently 8-8. Rutgers is going to Rutgers!

They were not on the cover, but there was a feature article on Rutgers in the Sports Illustrated basketball preview issue. The jinx lives!

Rutgers’ athletics deficit topped $70M again in 2023-24. But it still wasn’t a record.

Rutgers spent an all-time record to support its athletics teams during the 2023-24 school year.

What you are saying is that with a $70MM deficit and receiving about $50MM from B1G TVV deal money, that even if Rutgers received the hopeful $100MM, they would still run a $20MM deficit. Par for course.

Perhaps the "sleeping giant" will forever remain the giant bust.

Yeah, such a bragging point! Some good discussion and completely ignorant comments from Rutgers fans. Go see:

https://rutgers.forums.rival [X] .com/threads/ru-deficit.288223/ [You know the drill]

NJ.com

Last year will be 70 million and this is before paying athletes 22 million.

Look at all the money schools are making off these kids.
----
I don't know how anyone discusses these numbers with a straight face in a serious meeting.

The presentation and breakdown of these numbers is not intended to be added up.

----

Any analysis that does not put into context the marketing value of Athletics to the rest of the University is incomplete. Like ANY Marketing activity, Athletics is a necessary cost-center, representing an entity that contributes $5 billion+ to the NJ economy every year.
----
Maybe 50 million more from BIG at most over time makes this a 42 million hole without expenses increasing. And you want the rest of the student who earned entrance for academics to pay the guys who got entrance because they can run faster more money?
----
No the point is (I believe) Rutgers is off the charts on the loss vs. other schools, no?
----
Hot take (that I've said before):

Having the highest AD deficit is a good thing and should be promoted.

Rutgers cares so much that they spend $70m for collegiate athletics - a generally regarded public good.
----
Don't disagree but is operating at a 50% loss the model and acceptable? I think that the rub for most. That and the fact that we've made no dent while going from $10 million to $60 million in league rev.

Yeah, I'm sure that relying on that 1949 men's fencing (co-)championship has LOTS of kids dying to apply to "that school with the big time athletics program".

Great marketing scheme. lol

... and all this time SU has been fiscally responsible athletics program, paid its bills, returned excess monies to the school, and only won championships in several sports, been a contender in many sports, etc., etc., etc. And to think, in the alternative if SU ran huge deficits, was reckless in spending, wasted student activity fees, and run in the red in excess of $1.5BB over the last two or three decades SU, too, could have afforded a fencing title.
