A first of its kind NIL event. Come compete in the Scarlet Open with the Rutgers men’s basketball team and staff at Top Golf Edison. We’re doing awards, auction items, cocktails and dinner, and more!

Round up a group of friends and build a team to attend. Money from the event goes directly to Rutgers men’s basketball players for NIL.

How much?

 

[Plum Street]

How much?

How much you got ???

 

[PiscatawayMike]

$600 a head is wild. I’ll just show up to top golf for free

Where did you see that price?

 

[Plum Street]

@Geo_Baker_1 what is the price structure for this awesome event ?

Exhibit A of why we struggle to compete financially

Who said we are struggling? Team seems in good shape

Our athletic department runs at one of the largest deficits in the country and has basically since the dawn of time

Kind of not the point.

This event isn't for people like you and me. They need to charge a lot for this kind of event or it's a waste of time. You're not going to get the coaches and players to show up if it's $10 a person.

 

[Local Shill]

Ok well I agree with you.

And top golf is expensive already.

That being said they could have done it at like $3-350 a head and then did other things to raise money like auctions while there and it would be a lot more reasonable.

Golf outings at actual courses don’t charge 600 a head and athletes and coaches show up to those

It's basically an NIL donation but you get to play at Top Golf, drink and and eat what I assume will be a good meal while spending the afternoon with the team as a thank you. That's how I look at it. Way out of my price range but seems like a pretty cool event for well-heeled donors. There's plenty of stuff to complain about but this isn't it.

I assume they are providing top golf food so it's bar food and fried foods nothing really extravagant.

It's top golf, top golf does events all the time, they don't specially cater food for events there.

Yes . Thankfully we have $1 slice day vs. wagner

Am I crazy or is $600 a person not that outlandish of a price? People on here acting like that will break the bank. This is Central NJ not middle of nowhere Kansas where $600 is an entire mortgage payment. If I was in NJ I would definitely go. I appreciate you setting up cool things like this at a reasonable price Geo.

You're not crazy. 5 hours at Top Golf with food and cocktails and you get to meet players, even if it's cash bar, you're spending a good chunk of change on that, then the rest is a donation to NIL for the players.
Perfectly reasonable. The players don't want to hang out with you at Top Golf for free.

 

[MADHAT1]

Golf outings like this are for the heavy hitters to spend time playing with the coaches, players, and University officials showing their support financialy and being rewarded with personal contact.
Other type of events have ( example) $1,500 chicken dinners that could have been catered by KFC but no one was there just for the food, supporting the cause and meeting people was the main reason to go.

 

[toby83]

One time I saw a guy getting a lesson there from a young lady with an outstanding figure wearing quite the outfit, I almost tipped her was very strip clubish

 

[Plum Street]

Let’s up this to $1000 and go after wvu guy and maybe others in portal @Geo_Baker_1

You should plan your own fundraiser.

Let us know how it goes

They would have needed to sell like 2.5 times the tickets at the $300 price to raise the same amount of cash. Because the more attendees, the more the top golf bill is gonna be . You also have a more unfavorable fan to player/staff ratio. You want the attendee to have an awesome time and maybe be inclined to plunk down a few more dollars.
If $600 is the sweet spot as deemed by the professionals , so be it . Seems like a good idea for an event.
Hope it’s a huge success.

[TRU2RU]

Yea I’ll just show up to Topgolf for free then

Hope you drive a long distance & top golf is closed to the public during the event

 

[MiloTalon13]

It won’t be. They’re not filing 90 bays and don’t have the clout or money to rent the whole thing out

If you can get to where players are you will be diluting the access to them and making it less likely people will pay the same for events like that in the future

 

[MiloTalon13]

Lol

[MADHAT1]

I’m not actually showing up. Just pointing out the outrageous pricing for the what? A riveting conversation with Antonio Chol?

actually it's showing support for the program added bonus is meet and greet with them.
Some will sit on sidlines and complain about cost of gatherings like this, but those who go are not worried about coat, they want to feel part of the support system that keeps the ball rolling and get to know the players and coaches they support while havcing some fun with them.

You don't like it, no worrie, just don't go.
But if you can easily afford the price and if it's because you're too cheep to pay don't complain about others willing to pay to enjoy the golf outing in support of RUMBB, just sit tere and count the money you saved by not supporting a program you claim to support.

If you can't pay the rate for financial reasons, you're probably not alone in that department, but don't knock it because you can't afford it!
Just hope the golf outing helps the program you're supposedly a supporter of be a sucess and help RUMBB get the type of players needed to make a long run in the NCAA tourney.
Don't be petty and complain because you lack the bucks .

Others can't make it as well, but they support doing venues like this because it brings booster and players together in fun outings meant to help RUMBB get better

You must be loads of fun

Why are you so angry? 😂 if you can’t go that’s fine, send it to a friend and see if they can go. Most of the conversations about NIL here are always negative so there’s literally zero point in trying to talk down on efforts to change it. Especially something that’s as tangible as this.

Do you know his story? you wouldn’t be so quick to mock if you did it might be worth it to hear

Some get it and some don’t.

Must suck to be such a miserable douche

Don’t like it…don’t show, but no need to crap on the efforts of others

Now you can go crawl back in your hole

Don’t listen to these types of people . And keep up the good work.

Not angry, just think it’s a bit over priced.

After that I’m just messing with the people saying I’ll show up for free since I knew it would get them all riled up. Enjoy the event and go RU
