He took the job so it’s not on them idiot. He could of said no thanks.

Still waiting.
Everything I posted is a fact. These children paid tens of thousands to support this program to see it run into the ground.
Is that the best you can do? You can't even answer coherently. You're getting beaten like a drum.
Not caring where the money comes from is a luxury that Rutgers cannot afford. This is a fundamental question: Who is going to pay for the gilded football palace and everything else? It has never even been clear who is paying for Ash's $9 million buyout. At the presser , Hobbs said something about the money coming from departmental funds. But there are NO departmental funds laying around. The department has been running a huge deficit for years. So where is the money coming from?
Until there is an agreement on funding for all these proposed facilities, the deal is in peril.

It makes ZERO difference whether you, I, or anyone else HERE knows “where” the funding is coming from...THAT is my point...it’s getting done.
Actually, it very much matters where the money comes from.
Best case scenario, all of the money for Schiano's salary, staff and infrastructure demands comes from private donors. It shows private commitment to the program and insulates Rutgers football from the scathing editorials.
Worst case scenario, all of that money gets siphoned from general revenue, borrowed from the University and / or via bond issues. The PR pain just gets worse.
So am I! Come back when you have something factual to report, such as the announcement of a BOG meeting.
We all know NJ.com and The Star Ledger will be all over RU for years of fiscal ineptitude in the athletic department. If you read outside this forum many in the state are concerned about the reckless spending with Rutgers athletics. That’s why this hire has to be done the right way.
Of course, completely understand that, but OUR understanding of this is of little consequence a this moment. It’s either getting done, or not, regardless from where the cash comes That’s all I’m getting at here.
I'd like to see an actual story about how much the average tax payer contributes to Rutgers and then to athletics. There are way bigger things to be outraged about in this state.
Sct, I keep reading here that each New Jerseyan contributes a whopping 25 cents to Rutgers Athletics. As has been mentioned in other threads, we need to get creative with any new buildings. Have classes in them like other schools do so it can be listed as an academic building or have some type of parking garage to get it eligible for tax credits.
Sigh. Of course the deal will happen if the money is there. The question is *will* the money be there, which in turn depends on how much each of the players is willing to put up. If the parties together are willing to put up what Schiano wants, the BOG will meet. Otherwise we're not going to be able to hire him unless he cuts his demands. This is not a done deal until the finances are worked out. Why is that so hard for you to grasp?
Agree...but I haven't seen any info about the BOG 48 hour notice.
It would be great to hear the person or group that is turning this into a lackluster mini series...instead of a blockbuster.
MO
I know this is New Jersey where the guy whose only job is getting donuts and coffee makes $35 an hour, but is it safe to say we could build just an indoor practice facility for under $40 million ?
If enough is raised through donations, it won’t matter what the Rutgers 17 thinks or says.
Although you're joking, it would be so Rutgers to have Nunzio as plan B. Give him a modest salary, hire good assistants, and hope for the best. The cheapest option would win out again.
Admit it.. you hated Schiano and Rutgers long before this last snap.
How do you feel about a coach who did this?
I get where you're coming from. It's just my personal belief that my understanding of things is never of little consequence.
For some strange reason, this play never bothered me all that much. It's almost like it is the "old boys" that were more upset that he didn't do what was expected.
gilded football palace? What the hell are you referring to?
The only new building that is part of this deal is the indoor football training faculty to replace the bubble, which was ALREADY in the plans according to the masterplan Barchi revealed a few years ago. This will just fast track it.
Ash's buy out can be pay with 10,000 season tickets sold. This was already explained by Hobbs weeks ago.
yep, just sit back and relax and remember that it is a process.
There is zero reason to believe that it is not happening. No need to panic, if you see me panicking in a non sarcastic way, then you should start to worry.
The Board of Governors’ athletics committee is expected to recommend Schiano’s hire to the full board once university officials are confident sufficient support exists to secure a final approval.
The BOG must provide a 48-hour notice by law before convening a special meeting to vote on Schiano’s hire. That meeting would be open to the public; it would likely be conducted by teleconference at Winants Hall on the New Brunswick campus. A majority vote of the BOG members present would be required to approve Schiano’s hire and eight members would constitute a quorum.

AYN, I will get worried if we don’t have at least a BOG meeting by Thursday. I hope we are just about rounding third right now.
Did you actually read the article? It is not a done deal yet. The BOG has known about this for two weeks now and one could deduce further convincing is needed.
As much as I hate to say it, that's the way I read and understood the article as well.
The sources made it sound like they don't know what the BOG vote will be
