I am thinking that if Rutgers "plays it smart" we could be a program to make that turn. If we become a consistent ok to good team- this area, including NYC becomes a part of a winner. The fringe fan, starts to actually become fans...and that gets the train rolling faster than most other parts of the country.This is the reason I’m not buying a quick turnaround because of NIL. I get that you can go from bad to ok. But if you want to challenge the blue bloods (B1G East), no chance.
Imagine a Rice/Leonard or even McCourty Twins in NYC if this was the era of NIL- Heck BL was on Times Square prior to the 06 season. Imagine D & J as twins with their smarts and smiles...
I have said for a long time- Rutgers is the one program in the country that could turn it over night if they could just win.
