Poor NIL is the biggest reason for our disappointing season

Thousandaires can fork over a few thousand? So give up all they can while one billionaire is equal to thousands of the ones you say should go bankrupt to support the program?! The fact that you name so many B1G schools with whales supports the fact that that’s the correct path.

Thousandaires meaning well over $100K in savings and making well over $100K. These people can fork over $1K or more to support Rutgers Basketball. No one needs to go bankrupt. We have to work with what we have, not what we want.

My Current Take on Steve Pikiell

Are our two best offensive players better than the other teams two best defenders?
Seems like most nights they are.
Let them play perfect defense - still like our odds of Dylan getting to the hoop or Ace shooting over someone.

I'd much rather take that chance than our 4th best offensive player (JWill?) doing anything against literally any defender.

Probably, yeah, but they already are mostly better than the defenders. Dylan can already pretty much get to the hoop, well could when he was healthy, and Ace can already shoot over everyone. Unfortunately, I'm not sure more Ace and Dylan really make anything better, they already make 48% of our shots. Need others to score more efficiently and better defense.

Coaches

Want to start by saying I’m a fan of Pikell, decent coach and certainly an asset to RU off the court. But….Lot of talk about needing more NIL $ for a more competitive team. I wonder if given the same roster, would Painter have a 500 team? I don’t think so. Conversely, if Pikell were at Purdue with their roster would he be 16-5? Similar football thoughts. Schiano and Day were at Ohio St and when Meyer left it was preordained Day would be the guy. But if it were given to Schiano, would he have won a national championship? ThiughtS

Simple Minds hasn't toured US since 2017 and have never seen them. The Fixx has been on my bucket list for awhile

Still holding out for Human League but they only tour England and Europe

I always liked Human League and still do. The only group I think I saw from that era was The Tubes. Sorry if I'm wrong on the era. Saw them in Sacramento and it was memorable because the FM Converter bolted to the underside of my dashboard got stolen that night.

Maybe RU should do a better job of cultivating relationships with its billionaires. The everyman follows the billionaire. If the investment in RU isn't worth it to them, why would it be to people w limited funds?
Obviously, RU should do a better job getting it's young alum involved early too.

I wonder if fans would have wanted the big if told they would have to pay for it?

We don’t have any, to the best of my knowledge. At best, we have millionaires.

What was the alternative to the B1G? Remaining in the American Conference and knashing our teeth? No way. There was no other choice. Now people have to pony up.

Major changes in the works for college Avenue, several buildings to be demolished and a state of the art large student center to be built

My fraternity still has a semi-functional kitchen but I was shocked at how little use it gets. Virtually everybody living there does take out or delivery and the dining room now has a ping pong table in it. So much for socializing around the table! I do recognize that times change.
