People who think NIL is causing some great inequality are foolish.
There was already a grest inequality.

Correct. NIL actually has the opportunity to level the playing field because there are no institutional barriers for any school.

If they wanted an actual level playing field in college athletics (which they dont) then look at media revenue or AD donor funds.
Both of which cause a much bigger uneven playing field.

It relates to the inequity between Indiana and non-OSU/Oregon/Cult teams this year. But yeah, does it relate to the fact that OSU or Oregon is going to win the B1G 9/10 times? No.

At the end of the day, I guess the question is, do we want RU overperforming to the tune it currently is, or to the tune of being an Iowa?

Don’t blitz the house on 4th down and have Dbs standing 2 yards off first down marker. They had no timeouts and passed over the middle. Stop the first down and the game is over.

Also kicking conditions were terrible, you don’t ice the kicker on that one. Anyhow who cares 🤣

Brilliant at what? He's a career losing coach. Nothing about him says "he's the best"

This whole thread truly demonstrates what a poor job Pike did putting together this roster...blame NIL.if you want, but Pike is responsible.....Grant and Dortch are the long athletic wings that we need. But who knows if/when they will be ready...

This is why people leave in the 3rd qtr., they have enough of the non- game nonsense. What more proof do you want.

People have been leaving in the 3rd quarter since 1917

I guess in your mind all 4s have to be super athletic like Ace? This isn’t the nba

word is Lathan has an outside shot, has some handle, can drive/ pass. And with his size why couldn’t he play 4, for Rutgers, in 2024? If he shows the skills he apparently has

Some analysis, to supplement the snark, would be appreciated

OK. But NIL explains Indiana and the success of the non-legacy teams like Colorado.

The fact we are dead last but playing for 6th in the conference tells me we're actually overperforming.

The chances of beating OSU for everyone in this conference (just ask Cult) will always be low...but I think NIL is def a piece of being a top half team (which I think is a fair objective). If we want to be a top 1/3 team, which is within the realm of reality IMO, we have to step up in big way.

Who the F has time to figure out all that shit you just posted. Was the coach actually analyzing that like you just did?

Uh Me! 😉. Seriously I was yelling at the screen that Bielema was an idiot to bring the FG unit out. We wanted to see that very very difficult attempt (at that point it was to me very likely giving us the win). The TO, and the failed attempt gave him the opportunity to reconsider the obvious, and we unfortunately know how that turned out.

To me it was a moron flip flop… Bielma looked like an moron for not trying to complete a 13 yard pass vs attempting a near impossible FG… then the flip occurred… GS became the moron for giving Bielema a chance to rethink the better approach. 🤬

Similar experience here, except were are Rutgers through and through. I will say the people in the RFund (they are now all under the Foundation umbrella) get it and are generally very good to excellent. The academic side--forget it. Our RFund reps have had to carry the water for years on something we got involved in. It's to the point that we felt guilty about asking for help to get a few things ironed out to make the situation better. If it was not for the RFund contacts, we would have given up.

Yea pretty much my experience. We as a committee did our job. The University left alot of money on the table. And tarnished relationships with many to this day. This was early 2000's Wall St money.
