It's been this way for over a decade (see the posts referencing the numerous football decommits).
Not sure why the sudden upheaval among fans.
There is a reason many don't even bother following recruiting or "commits". They mean nothing until actual signing day.
Not ideal is not the point here. It's the overall pattern that is truly disturbing.
How far off are we until the day comes when a player “decommits” from a team during halftime of a game…?
Like Raheem Blackshear
This^^^. Or, makes a "commitment" with a list of conditions that need to be met lol. GO RU!
or maybe NCAA destroyed it for being blood sucking vampires for such long time
You wanted the NIL you got it
Alumni and fans now have more of a financial stake in the success of its favorite college teams. You choose to help or not most here choose to do nothing to help but sure have the time in their lives to talk about it. It’s crazy how some of you can be so emotionally invested but rather die than give a dime towards the effort of getting Rutgers players. Some of you live here lol.
This is exactly why I said it is pointless to celebrate a vaunted top-rated class of "verbal" commitments, especially in the NIL era. Until these kids sign and show up for classes, I will refrain from celebrating. RU's NIL cupboard is essentially bare, so I do not expect any of the highly-touted recruits like Bailey and Harper to ever put on an RU uniform. They simply can command so much more money than RU can offer. RU raised a paltry $1.5 million in NIL the past year - for all sports -- with the lion's share earmarked for football. That leaves Pike with at best a total of $200K - $300K to work with to both retain players and get new recruits. Any single one of these high profile recruits will command that entire amount and probably more just to commit!Geez.
2024 four-star G Dellquan Warren has decommitted from Rutgers
Keystone Prep (PA) four-star guard Dellquan Warren took to social media today to announce that he has decommitted.rutgers.rivals.com
To be sure, NIL is sucking the like out of my Rutgers fandom.

Ummm...you are wrong. for all the Rutgers fans who havent been to the dance, I'm pretty sure we all care about the improvement of the team, the NCAA appearances, and the upward trend of the program...but please, continue to hate and sulk in your world. Oh, by the way, if no one actually cared, would the RAC be packed to the gills and top 10 recruits be committed and/or considering Rutgers?
....and you can reel them in with a bag or two of dough.
The vast majority of Rutgers fans care until you ask them to contribute $$$. Our history shows what we are.
I keep hearing that too, but like I say, I will believe it when I see it! I certainly hope that is right!
Didn’t cost me a penny.
My numerous donations went directly to where I wanted them to go.
Hopefully that donation is for a FIREBALL LEFTY who pitches like Sandy Koufax
Nobody that matters cares. College sports will get closer to professionals with players getting paid and have contracts to stay at the college for defined years prior to free agency.
Correct. $1.5 million is what one collective received. Not sure why people think that is the only NIL money being handed out.
as soon as one kid hears about about another kid getting more money than him, recruitment is opened up!
How?
Because a recruit flips a commitment?
This has literally been having forever for every school.
The biggest news story on football NLI day every year is “Who will flip and to where?”
It’s not NIL fault that coaches continue to recruit kids after they issue a commitment.
It’s not professional sports.
But as I told Nick…please enjoy
Yep. And no school will be able to count on any 'set' roster from here on in
Now that observation is totally delusional. He ‘s very good but this is what happens when people start celebrating verbals 4-6 12 -24 months before the kid signs. Thinking back how ecstatic the feelings were on here and on the podcasts. Rutgers is just one of many who will need to act or just put all $$$$ into football … then pray it’s close.
Pray what's close?
Pat isn't putting all money into football. This is the Big Ten conference not the Big East.

Stop what?
Saying that flips have always occurred?
Sorry for the bad news - literally on this site here are just a couple of threads - before the dreaded NIL.
And this doesn't even include the Round Table threads that are behind the pay wall.
