Poor NIL is the biggest reason for our disappointing season

What if the 2 players hurt the ability to get other players? What if those 2 players were brought in to be the best players and weren't really players that were great winning college basketball games.

If the premise is “getting talented players hurts the ability to win” then there is nothing further to discuss.

Ace and Dylan didn’t cause the famed defender Jamichael “The Glove” Davis to run around in circles and give up an open 3.
If Gavin had that play last year you would have said he needs to be cut immediately and never set foot on the floor ever again.

What a bunch of useless babble from her:

"“There are themes that are already emerging,” she said. “People want someone who’s a good communicator. They want somebody who appreciates a multi-campus university."

Rutgers better hope Steven Fulop does not win the election for Governor:

"Mayor Baraka is 100% right, now is no time to cower to bullies. But let’s be clear - Rutgers as an institution has fostered a bully culture for a few years now. One that targets employees with institutional knowledge and memory, which does a disservice to the students. Look no further than the most recent additions to the Board as where the worst of NJ politics and higher education intertwine here.When I’m Governor of New Jersey, I will end the university’s bend toward corporate interests and machine favors, and I will nominate retired professors and staff to serve as members of the Board of Governors."
That is scary. That clown (whoever he is) would send us back to the Stone Age as a University. He is likely to scare off University Presidents who are considering applying as well. F us.

I have a $360 stop loss in place for GEV. Maybe I should turn that off and see what happens.
320-340s area has some support and the area it based for a couple months, whether it holds or not is a different story. 50DMA is at 350 as well. PE is fairly rich too around 90 so you'd expect some of that to come out.

I'm skeptical energy consumption will be so much less on this Chinese news. When it comes out from a more reliable source, I'd believe it.

To put it in budget terms:
Team X - $3m
Team Y - $1m

Team X has to spend $2m for their top 2 players
Team Y has to spend near $0 for their top 2 players.

Both teams have the same $1m to fill out the roster.

We are Team Y this year.
Getting $2m of players for nearly nothing(?)

So even if we a have a smaller overall budget than peers, our effective budget is equal (or even higher?) because we already got our top 2 players.

It really was night and day. Even Romo called out the Chiefs know Allen goes left on sneaks/push and yet Buffalo continued to do it without a ton of success. Plus why James Cook wasn't out there more in the 4th quarter makes no sense to me.
Because our owner hasn't come to terms with the fact that the team has hit it's ceiling under McDermott. If 13 seconds didn't convince him it's likely that nothing will. Maybe he's content with just getting close and repeatedly losing in excruciating fashion. Call it championship mettle, call it championship DNA, call it mental toughness. Whichever it is the team just lacks that thing that will take it over the top.

Agree totally about disagreeing and arguing. My point is maybe some of the complainers should put up something more other than constant criticism and complaints. Yes, that's a part of sports, but this thread is also about NIL, and look at the guy below. If NIL is the problem, how do we fix the problem if people do not give? The guy below seems to think that is the job of "whales." Every bit helps.
Giving $50-100 to the Rutgers NIL collective may make people feel good, but it's not actually doing much of anything.

Landing a single big donation is more valuable than thousands of small fan contributions. The school/collective should spend minimal time soliciting small donations, and focus entirely on large donations.

NIL s about sponsorship, not crowdfunding.

TSM is nicely down. I have been looking to convert my AMD to TSM in my custom stock basket. Might as well do the deed this morning before institutions figure out what the mindless trading algorithms are doing and flip the switch.
Everything is correlated lol in moments like these..GEV down 15% or so and back down to that level where it based at for a couple months.

The lack of NIL isn’t the fans fault, it’s Pike’s fault

To do everything he can to maximize shareholder value. Just as pikes job is to do everything he can to win games.

Nothing remains the same forever, you adapt or youre passed by
What are the terms?

You can't compare someone who is compensated based on how he does in the future vs. someone who is compensated based on how he has done in the past.
