It is not a Rutgers project, the project is a county project that has a much larger scope than just a baseball stadium.

It’s not the worst use of taxpayer funds and stadium building.

Yes, it'll be a big deal for the nation to see that a B1G Baseball team plays it's games on the campus of the local County College...

I'm worried the rac will look that way before long.

Guess what? A lot of Big Ten Schools are supported by Billionaires. Here are some:

Ohio State - Lou Wexner
Michigan - Stephen Ross
Penn State - Terry Pegula
Northwestern - Ryan Family
Oregon - Philip Knight
USC - B Wayne Hughes
Illinois - Shahid Khan
Michigan State - Matt Ishbia
Maryland - Kevin Plank

So do we give up just because we don’t have any billionaires? Of course not! We do what we can to make a tangible difference. While we don’t have the whales that other schools have, we have strength in numbers. We have lots of thousandaires who can fork over few thousand to ensure the success of our athletics programs.

It was nearly unanimous by our fans that we wanted to join the Big Ten. Well here we are, and now it’s on us to provide the necessary funds to compete.

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?

This rarely happens this late in the season.

Marist is 15-3, 203 NET, and plays in the MAAC,
Only 2 teams are consider Q3 Road games in the MAAC, Merrimack 163 and Quinnipiac 169, closest Q3 Road is Siena at 243.

All 18 games are Q4, 9 home(8-1), 9 ROAD(7-2)
They have a win @ 242 Richmond and vs 169 Quinnipiac, closest Q3s.

They avoid Quinnipiac on the road but plays Merrimack and possibly Siena on the Road.

They will have 29 or 30 out of 31 games in Q4
They have the easiest schedule locked up by a wide margin, 364 out of 364.


The closest, multiple teams with 0 Q1s and 4-5 Q2/3s, Manhattan(3) 1 Q1, 2 Q3s, N. Arizona(4) 1 Q1, 3 Q3s, (3)Loyola(MD) & Niágara(3) 1 Q1, 1 Q2, 1 Q3.

Was not aware of this latest set back, he's been dealing with health issues for so long, who knows what lingering affects all of this has had on his body. Hope he can win one more time. The legal stuff sounds like some unnecessary crap, considering what he is dealing with.

On the player retention front, Wolf went for 21 and 10 last night while Mag is suddenly playing over 30 minutes for BYU in a win over Baylor. This team could use 30 minutes of Mag D next to Ace.

I thought I was on ignore with you? I guess you love my posts. 😎😂 Life was more than good for the past four years - I am sorry that you couldn’t make it work. Maybe that’s on your own failures. I wish you well.

I don't put people on ignore, I'd much rather watch them crash and burn. My life as a retired person since I was 60 as well as my wife retiring at 60 has been fine. Mostly since I collect federal and she state retirements plus SSI and conservative investments have done fine. No thanks to Biden but speaking "top of mind", I'll "circle back" to you and check in on how The Orange Man has turned this sinking ship around and made the USA the envy of the world once again.

If some of our guys don’t show up it can easily be 25-6 or worse. We don’t really have any matches based on Intermat where we are heavily favored. They have at lot of guys in the top 10. The energy the last 3 matches has been awesome so if they bring this it will be really fun to watch.

One big plus: RU will now be able to host games that can televised. No infrastructure for that at Bainton.

You keep bringing up Maryland and St. John's as examples of how the everyman needs to step up. St. Johns is being driven by a billionaire, and Maryland has the UA connection. Say what you want about their business, but they just signed an agreement with UMD to pay their kids for NIL nonsense, in addition to whatever Plank does on his own. Where is the RU billionaire? Where is the RU affiliation that everyone knows about? If RU had that, the athletic dept wouldn't be the disaster it's always been and the everyman may be contributing more at this point.
