Indiana Tom Allen on NIL
- Thread starter bori_blanco
- Start date
I don't complain about recruiting.
Penalties and poor coaching? Yea, that's fair game.

Light up another high quality blunt and you will feel much better about RU and NIL. 😀
I've tried so many times, but it doesn't help all that much.
If we could just recruit five or six four-star recruits for this class. And not lose anyone of significance to free agency....the high will be much, much better.
Posting film from Rutgers = The one catch he had all season?
Maybe when Rutgers selects a vendor for ANYTHING.. it needs to see if said vendor donates to.. er.. "supports".. Rutgers in any way.
Yeah.. that is a sketchy idea.. a way to leverage Rutgers spending for.. well, ANYTHING.. to cycle money they will pay to said vendor and see some of it come back to support Rutgers.. in one way or another (NIL).
How many politicians do we have in this state who have done similar things. We should be experts at it. Tap the old UMDNJ folk to figure out how to do it.

This post couldn't be more spot on. As quoted above, I am tired of being told how to be a fan. That sums it up better than anything I have seen. It's honestly sickening. Rutgers will bring in $75+ million in TV revenues - per year - going forward. That's more than enough. Figure out a way to make it work on that. We are in one of the two most lucrative conferences in the country. One of the top 30 or so school's in that regard. Enough already. Beyond that, I am sick and tired of being told how as a fan how I need to do more. No thanks. How about the NCAA figures out how to grow a set and bring some rules to this anarchy, and the schools and conferences figure out a way to work with the incompetent NCAA to use some of these revenues to address the NIL problem. And maybe take away scholarships if this is where we are going. The whole things sucks. I am just really tired of dumping even more on the fans than they are already doing. What other successful sports entity operates that way? Try none. If this is really about dollars and cents, then schools should have no obligations to support non revenue sports. Both positions can't co-exist. NIL is sucking the life out of one of my greatest passions. It's sad, but I would rather let it all burn if this is what it now takes.

FWIW I plan to do an NIL deal when the season ends with my business and I drew up a marketing contract. If you sit out a bowl game, post season game are ineligible, you don't get paid.
I just can't give NIL to a high school kid. IDGAS what their ranking is. Imagine giving Micah Clark 100k? Good God that would be worse than buying NFTs or crypto.
I can’t comment one way or another because the games have all been on BTN+ 😭😭
I swear they better not play like crap tomorrow just because I can finally watch.
Would you rather your money go towards the approx $15m paid to HC Chris Ash?
It’s not like the AD is exactly wisely spending your money now.
Exactly. This ATM is tapped out too. As a matter of fact can I get back all that money I wasted helping to build those facilities that were SOOOO important a couple of years ago?
F it. I'll watch the soccer team.

Knock yourself out fans. You can give your money to non-committed year to year semi-literate players to spend on more tattoos.
I'm gonna sit this one out.
Oh and IN! for the tax time LOLs.
Before he graduates from which program? Maybe it $300K and three years and a final AA year for $200K somewhere else.
I sure hope he looks as good as he has in the BTN+ games. Real floor-general type. Think of the Billets if you are old enough... maybe better.
Amen. There's gonna maybe be a couple dozen programs that can compete in football... MAX. You can argue that is true now.. but teh feeling you can catch a great year.. like Cinci last year.. and others, rarely, in the pre-MNC and CFP games... but after, say, maybe 10 years where every P5 team in the 12-team CFP is a major NIL player.. what will all teh programs struggling to attract NIL $$$ players think? What will their past and current DONORS think?
I think a good number will go the "why bother?" route.
Everyone could see it.. that the various "pay the players" movements including NIL were totally supported by the major players in the BIG MONEY programs and conferences.
I looked at it this way. Once upon a time.. teh big money programs shelled out scholarships like candy.. they could stack the bench with no scholarship limits. Then teh 85 schollies and 25-in-one-year limits were enacted and that weakened the power teams... brought about a little parity. So they put money into facilities to attract players (and, of course, the brown bags and hire their family and friends, etc). But to be able to LEGALLY pay the players? They LOVED that idea. And they got what they needed in NIL.
But I thought this was all about Luke Nathan being able to run a basketball camp???
I also think we are mixing issues. Pressure from coaches and ADs because the collectives are separate and apart from the school athletic department. RU happens to have more than 1 so we don’t have our own act together to single approach.
Also waiting for there to be a Title IX complaint about equal access to money. Which is why revenue sharing is the ticket.
RUAD should be donating a portion of its media revenues to the collective.
With the few scant NIL rules that do exist at the moment my guess is that might be a no-no, though it would be nice
"This interview just sucked the love of college football right out of me"
When the NIL system was first announced this was my feeling as well.

You have always been able to direct where your donations went. This is similar now
The billet’s didn’t seem that long ago ….and then I see it’s been about 20 years !!! Yikes where did that go
Has nothing to do with NCAA, that’s the whole idea. Legally, players can be paid by private interests any time, place, purpose. Just like someone in the drama program or an unaffiliated citizen can be paid for work.
NCAA can only address scholarship & transfer rules.

Oh it definitely happens in European Soccer leagues…. There’s absolutely no parity, the biggest clubs consistently buy the best players and most leagues who are made up of 25 or so clubs rotate the league championship between the top 3-4 clubs…
Unfortunately NIL is about to hit hard and who knows how things will look. As for top players leaving, it’s unfortunately already happening. A local in conference example is Chop Robinson, a 5* recruit for Maryland in 21’ who started every game as a freshman only to transfer to Pedd state this off-season… took them a year to pony up the money and away he went…

I can't speak for European Soccer, but the key difference with College Athletics is the fans get directly blamed for financial shortcomings of the AD.
"Report: Rutgers doesn't have the funds to fire HC Flood/HC Ash. Contacting boosters to raise the funds."
Or the repeated "well we can't expect to compete with OSU/UM" when we receive the literal same media payout as them (soon).
Why not? "Well their fanbase donates much more money that our fanbase. We could never afford a $9m/year contract like MSU just gave out."
I've never seen "Report: Giants want to fire HC Judge but don't have the money. Contacting fans to raise buyout money."
Fans like to think they are "part of the team" by donating money. But then it makes them an easy scapegoat for the AD "well, we just don't have the money to operate like our peer schools."
You’re just gonna have to suck it up and make it happen. Do bake sales and stuff. How about we set up collection bins outside every Walmart & Shoprite like the Salvation Army does. Imagine all the money we could raise for NIL. I’d also support imposing some sort of fee on cable and cell phone bills. Make it small like 75 cents and direct it to NIL. Most dummies in NJ won’t even notice and those that do will likely just shrug it off as “it’s only 75 cents, no big deal”
You do realize he's the second lowest paid coach in the B10, right? That only Locksley in Maryland makes less?
You go ahead and keep grinding that axe, though.
What he said. If some sneaker company is willing to a pay a kid for NIL fine. I'm not.
Irrelevant. Why does it matter who makes more and who makes less ? Is he earning his keep by winning ? Besides, it’s the 8 yrs that will cripple the program, not the per annum.
