Poor NIL is the biggest reason for our disappointing season

The NIL race isnt being won or lost by how much your fan collective raises but rather how many whales you can get committed to your program to stroke 7-figure checks
...no, remember, no matter what it's our/the everyday fan's fault, because we all know the everyday fans of programs like Miami donate 5 figures a year minimum even though their football games always seem half-empty and they've been dead-last in the ACC for basketball attendance over the last 4-5 years...

RU Deficit

I was merely parroting what Rutgers shows on their financials. Profitability may have been used incorrectly. What Rutgers says on its Financials is increase in Net Position.

Correct and it could reverse next year. Correct to look at the operating income line to get a better sense. They shouldn’t necessarily be profitable but of course they would prefer to break even or run a slight profit. The main point is nearly all colleges and ADs lost money or make no profit. Counter to everyone saying “look at all the money they are making”

Pikell Just Sucks

The problem is if this season stays on course and we miss the tourney and next year is as bad as it appears it may be, we will be a dead program walking before you know what happened to you. The goodwill with the fanbase isn't as deep as you may think it is I am afraid

Ok..and if we turn it around and next year isn’t as bad as many worry it will be - we won’t be a dead program. Can’t play the what if game….

Right now - on January 26, 2025. Our program is fine.

Hasn’t been better since I’ve been alive

Not at all. You seem to be arguing that we have a good nil situation relative to our peers. Are you saying we did for one year because of outside money?
we dont...but our peers are not getting 4 million dollar players dropped into their lap for free

pretty sad to use the no nil funds at RU argument when someone paid 4 million for 2 kids to come here...if only other schools had that

Go root for that scum school that:
1. Alowed Joe Pa to let criminal activity run rampant - "success with honor"
2. Allowed Sandusky to perpetrate disgusting crimes against children and turned a blind eye
3. Built a shrine to Joe Pa when Joe admitted he should have done something.

Could never root for a program with that history, but you want to "lionize" them as something to aspire to? No thanks.

There was only one school we told our kids that we would not pay for--Penn State. They had no interest in such a filthy place.



Michigan is a program we should aspire to.
