From the day Ace committed until the 2024-2025 portal opened pike had 400+ days to build the NIL war chest

If you took a poll of everyone that post on this site which are supposed to be die hard Rutgers alums and fans. I will include the other site as well. I would say 95% of the posters chose to not donate. These are the die hards. I don’t understand what Pike was supposed to do. He mentioned it plenty of times of how important NIL going forward is. NIL is hated here and with the history of this fanbase and donations to Rutgers it’s so very easy to blame Pike when most of you gave zero.
You go after sponsors, not fans. If you can't get a sugar daddy, you need businesses to put money toward endorsements/etc. You know, actually finding entities to license the players' names, images, and likenesses, what NIL was intended to be.

Instead, it's like we're talking about passing around a basket among the faithful at church.

Odd yelling at the diehards who already pay all the points fees, donated and and supported RU through thick and thin and 30 years of ineptitude.

While perhaps season ticket holder contributions are a minor problem, the bigger problem is there are not enough big whales/sharks.

Imagine if we were able to keep Eugene, Jacob, Cam, Paul, Cliff, Mags, for extra years.

Hard to blame Pike if no real NiL.

It is not the key culprit of why this season is disappointing like many are claiming. The team was flawed and losing with him. And you could see , from basketball eyes, we weren’t going to magically morph into a top 5 big ten team .
That’s speculation imo. He’s probably a top ten point guard in college basketball. That’s a monumental loss. Early in the season freshman are going to struggle. We went toe to toe with two very good teams and had two bad losses and were 1-1 in the big. Not a great resume but certainly not something that was insurmountable.

This is not a very logical statement.

Zach Martini - most impactful defensive player? Most important metric says so

Put them on ignore?? No. Thats what a 12 year old does. You can choose not to read someone's opinion instead of turning your message board into an echo chamber.
In my case I have judiciously put some people on ignore. I consider it like a town square before the internet. I wouldn’t take the time to stand around and listen to and debate the village idiot. Disagreements are fine but at a some point I’ve made the decision that some of these people are truly idiots who say nothing of interest ever and it’s not worth my time to even read their repetitive stupidity. To each his own of course.

How many more years does Pike get a pass with no tournament?

Sorry Floux I was talking about the previous play when Pike fouled intentionally up 3 and made it a free throw contest extending the game. (Pikes teams always bad FT shooting). We missed they made and that’s why OSU was in position to win that game.

Pike prior to that game has never implemented that strategy in his entire coaching career. Has not done it since either btw. Panicked

We were the number #1 3 point defense that year . Just defend straight up and we win that game and OSU never gets a shot to win.

Oh yeah I agree with you there that was not a good strategy esp since we were not in the double bonus
