OT: RU Academic B1G ranking

Not bad , but hope the new President gets RU in B1G's top 5 and in nation's top 30
>Rutgers maintained its position in the U.S. News rankings. It sits comfortably within the nation's top 50, tied with one other Big Ten school and Boston University at No. 41. As noted, just a few rankings spots separate the school from the conference's top five.

OT: Any baseball card collectors?

I don’t other than my old 1960s and 70s Mets cards but saw this sale in Margate this weekend. Guys got over 100,000 old cards. Auction style for the cards

Suggested analysis: A position-by-position comparison of last years vs this years. Minus Bailey/ Harper!!!

Anyone care to take this on? I’d do it but I’d rather read it done by someone more knowledgeable.

The reason I suggested exclusion of the big two (ace/dylan) i think is obvious - ie they skew the comparison too much to one side and makes the comparison I’m looking for impossible

What I am ultimately wondering is this: we are losing 2 lottery picks so I don’t think anyone thought that the overall talent would be better this year but position-by-position did we otherwise improve?

Cost of attendance

What was the cost of attendance for 09/24 through 05/25 and what is the cost for 09/25 through 05/26?

I am trying to determine what I need in a 529.

Granddaughter will be starting college in 12 years and I will estimate the cost to be double what it is now. Estimating a 6% increase per year of current cost.

I am willing to save enough for 4 years of the cost of RU including room and board.

Thanks.

I just corrected an error- she starts in 12 years. She is 6 years old.

B1G Rowing Championships (Women) this Sat/Sun - RU Title Hopes??!!

Gonna be tough, I assume Washington is favored over RU, but it's there for the taking!! LET'S GO LADIES!!!


NCAA Seed Performance Distribution

WTT is in the rear view mirror and Final X is weeks away, so I dusted off some NCAA data to keep myself entertained in the between times.

The Seed (Round) rows group the seeds into the rounds they would finish if everything went chalk (or at least if their individual results went chalk).

The Round columns are where they actually finished. So the top 8 seeds finish as AA's 74% of the time, finish in the blood round 16% of the time, etc.

The data is from the 33 seed era only (2019 - 2025). The averages sum horizontally, not vertically.



  • For the gamblers in the audience it looks like the 9-12 seeds are the value play as they finish on the podium more often than the blood round. The opposite should be expected.

  • On the flip side, avoid they 13-16 seeds who finish one round short of expectations more often than on seed-based expectations.
