Senior: Derkack, Ogbole
Junior: Davis
Soph: Sommerville, Grant, Dortch
Frosh: Ware, Mark, Powers, Nwuli

Grab 2 guys from the portal.

Williams can grad transfer somewhere.

Even with this, we'd be light on upperclassmen

I agree.
The only thing I watch other than the occasional decent musical guest is Weekend Update...which is always great.

I’m shocked that OpenAI had a five year head start and Xai has already surpassed it all because they built a computer everyone said was impossible to build.

There will always be kids who would not thrive at a big school and who don't have the credentials to get into an Ivy or other elite school. So some small schools will survive. From what I know, virtually no student at those schools (except international students) pays sticker price. Still a lot of those schools are going to close, especially the ones that are lesser-known or don't have alums with *very* deep pockets.. There are a lot of fixed costs in running a college, so maybe the small colleges that stay open won't be as small as they are now. That will still leave a niche in a world of mega state universities.

This is 100% correct and exactly how college atheltics has worked for decades (see the facility arms race years and our current need for a "fieldhouse").

This is also why if someone said "the entire college athletics system needs to be trashed and started from scratch" I wouldn't really argue.

An easy argument could be made sports shouldn't be about "fans with the most money to spend dictate who is successful or not".

The very first episode of NBC's Saturday Night (the Live part came later in time) is airing at 11:30 pm tonight, February 15. George Carlin was the host and the first musical guests were Billy Preston and Janis Ian. Air date: October 11, 1975.

Tonight from 8p-11p SNL will do a special on all the music that has been on since the start.

From faint memory I watched the first show I was not laughing. However, that changed within a month and a half. At Rutgers, the Rusty Screw Pub cleared out at 11:30 pm on Saturday nights when students went to the closest TV set to catch the show... it was that popular.

Sunday there will be a three hour 50th anniversary special broadcast starting at 8pm.

From DEI EO

"Section 1. Purpose and Policy. The Biden Administration forced illegal and immoral discrimination programs, going by the name “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI), into virtually all aspects of the Federal Government, in areas ranging from airline safety to the military."

DEI is banned because its openly prejudicial - MLK in reverse.
"Content of character" and all that is out - white people, males go to the back of the bus even if they have the best skills.
Hiring by preferred color, sex, disorders = DEI
That violates civil rights and labor laws like crazy - and RU could lose gov funding.

From OP article:

"Rutgers has not faced pressure from state legislators to dismantle DEI. But the cancellation demonstrates the leverage and power the federal government can hold over colleges and universities by threatening to pull funding from programs that don’t comply with the president’s demands."

Great coach, but as with everything else it’s all self-promotion with Pitino.

I just found out today that fandiego, also known as Felonious Monk, passed away on Feb 12. He was a Highland Park High and RU grad. He was 70 and battling cancer. He and I became really good friends off the board, although I never met him in person. He had a wicked sense of humor and loved RU sports. Sad day.

Please stop this finger pointing at Pat Hobbs, Hobbs was an employee of RU and the coaches are hired to work at RU.....it is NOT the schools employees responsibility to ensure RU is funded properly, it is up to you, myself and everyone that reads this board and beyond.

With how involved you are in the market and the amount of research that you do, you should never invest in ETFs. You should be 100% or close to it in individual stocks. I would suggest a core portfolio of 10-20 stocks that make up 80% of your net investment and another 10-30 minor holdings.

Sommerville is a key piece to retain. The things he is lacking right now are all teachable, and he should be better as a sophomore next year.

Nope, the secret is indifference to RU athletics success. It’s better for your blood pressure 😉
