I sold my tickets for Sunday. I cant take this any more. All 12 who played were terrible defensively.

I think/hope Michigan game just zapped our spirit.

The combination of our lack of help in the paint, pathertic defnensive rebounding and our inabikity fight through any screen!!!!!!

Teams with upper classmen are better equipped to make teams like us pay. Purdue was surgical again.

Our zone attempts we’re just pathetic too

We sure will, but if you’re looking for spoilers, Google “NBA Mock Draft” and then look at who is listed as the second and third pick on literally every single one of them.

You don’t understand. SBP doesn’t think they are ready. This is worth much more than all those expert opinions.

The VAST majority of the money that Rutgers gets from the State is to pay for the health benefits & fringe benefits that Rutgers State employees are entitled to under their contract. Taxpayers are not paying for the Athletic department they are paying for State Employees.

Rutgers could use a DOGE like purge.
The State of New Jersey really needs a DOGE like purge,
Why does anyone think the Athletic Dept should be $$$$$$$ positive?
Unrealistic.

$3 million plus in talent delivered 14-16 and the embarrassment tonight

$3 million plus was provided by outside interests for freshmen who took time to acclimate. Much less than a million was provided by fans to land multiple subpar players. This is why we had to suffer through a disappointing season. It’s seems that the market is at least $300K per good player. The most a player of ours got was $250K. The rest got much less.

Oh I think it’s a complete dumpster fire but the Pike apologists will give you 25 reasons why it’s not his coaching or his programs fault

Keep Grant and Lathan everyone else can transfer to mid major or lower level.

Get in the portal and bring in sophomore and juniors who fit your style.

Develop and maintain incoming freshman

3 years from now chance at the tournament

Like it or not Pike is rebuilding from scratch in year 10 of his own program.

No President. No AD. And a hoops coach in well over his head with apparently a lifetime contact (thanks Hobbs). But yeah, the program is in great shape

How is retaining non B1G level players helpful? I get we need continuity, but with this group? Same thing last year as well. Anyone see a pattern?

Yankees and Mets never required you to spend extra for tickets and blamed the fanbase for not having the money to hire/fire coaches or build new facilities.

College athletics is built on fans being forced to fund programs.
This isnt a new concept.

It's quite amusing.
Remove NIL and player compensation.
Where do people think the money for all these staff raises and extensions was going to come from?

When’s the last time you bought Yankees tickets? It’s over $100/game for good seats. Point is players salaries are built into the price of the ticket. And players salaries are also subsidized by media revenue.

In college, ticket revenue pays for operations, while donations fund facilities. Rutgers fans have never been conditioned to donate adequately, which is why Rutgers has never won anything in 156 years. Football Scarlet Lot Parking would cost $20K at Michigan. At Rutgers, it’s 2.5K.

Now fans are also being asked to fund players NIL. Adequate funds provide competitive players. Inadequate funds provide big risks and sometimes inadequate players. This season is an example of that.
