Certainly you mean our board of governors, not our board of trustees. (Rutgers actually has both -- the latter is mostly a talking shop.) University presidents do have influence -- Barchi had a much different approach to the deficit than Holloway had, and the board of governors didn't object to either's poliicy. And, yes, there are schools that would willingly replace us, but it's kind of like a girlfriend; yeah, there are others who would date her, but that doesn't mean she's right for you. I tend to think that Rutgers will continue doing what it's doing -- but not if it becomes clear that we have no chance of success at this level. But of course we'll have to see.
In a way Barchi is a perfect example of a President who lacked power. He didn’t support big time athletics, but couldn’t do anything to stop it. The board is filled with people who supported the move to the Big 10. The next president will support that position, or will eliminate themselves from consideration.

and what exactly is YOUR evidence? You can call it whatever you want. I can say MY opinion is based on watching Rutgers football for 52 years over all the coaches and this current coach for like 20 of them.
It was reported here that AS was #2 going into camp. I've seen him in limited action in a real game.
I've not seen AJ.
I've heard fans gush over guys like Gavin, Art, Dc, etc. (here's a nice list)... I've seen some of Rutgers BEST QBs ever. This guy is clueless when it comes to that spot. and YES, THAT is MY OPINION.

That’s not opinion. That’s fact. The #1 job of a Schiano QB is to get to 4th down and the punt team on the field when the running game isn’t working.

I don’t have any evidence but I’m not the one making claims

That’s your move

Yet another tried and true explanation to the common long time fans who have their own eyes. That is just fine but doesn't explain the historical lack of playing time given to almost every #2 Rutgers QB under GS over his time here. He has 1 guy who comes here either because of a relationship or in Gavin's case because of $$ and the hype and GS will ride them.
Amen. Ajani probably got shown the door for suggesting RU should strive for a Top 100 passing game. That’s heretical in Choppinville and Schiano revoked his scholarship before Shepard even finished the sentence.

University presidents are former academics who are now glorified fundraisers with very limited management experience, which is why so many have been forced to resign recently, because they are largely incompetent. A decision about our athletic commitment will not be decided by our new fundraiser, but by our board of trustees, and as I noted previously, the alternatives to leaving the big 2 conferences is disastrous, and if Rutgers, which is making up for a longstanding underinvestment in athletics no longer has an appetite to do so going forward, will be faced with many universities who will be eager to trade places with us.

I sure have and unless you have tangible evidence he didn’t get beat out…:(which you don’t)

Conspiracy theories aren’t facts
They are opinions
