Being serious........
You, I and all fans really should try and look at this objectively...unfortunately we can't because in 2025 everything is on the darkweb. We have no idea where money goes, who controls it, how much we have, and how much others have.
Until we really no the answers it is really tough to know whats best.
If we really have no money, and our competition does, and we struck out with our top transfer options last year due to a lack of money we have to operate under those parameters. Are we going to do better with lateral changes? NO Is a top coach going to want to come here as 2nd fiddle to Schiano? NO
He wouldn't. If Villanova wanted him I am sure RU would gladly waive that. Obviously Steve would want a similar contract.Pike's not leaving if he has to pay this

Yeah, but a school in a non-football league also probably doesn't HAVE $20 million that is permitted to be spent. Remember it is UP to $20 million permitted ... and the universities have to determine if they HAVE that amount of money to spend on athletics - you don't just "add" it ... it has to come from somewhere. For Big 10 teams the money comes from the Media Rights contract (which I think will pay about $75 million per team per year), plus ticket revenue, concessions revenue, etc. Non-football teams have significantly less ticket and concessions revenue .. football is the huge money-maker, much more so than hoops. Its just the math.
We actually have fans wanting Bobby Hurley and Little Ricky because of the name.....wow
You live in your own reality that blows with the wind. Whoever, whenever, doesn't matter you'll be demanding RU fire any coach. Let's see the list already, fire Schiano, Pike, Goodale, the women's coach of course, and any and all after they lose a game. Hey but refs who screwd RU are not on your list. This from a guy who wouldn't give a penny to help hire a new coach.
We need a coach, first and foremost before a name.
“Having a name matters, period?” What does that even mean lol.
I’m not replacing Steve Pikiell with a guy that basically had similar success at a program that is given a ton of resources and support,
And I would probably pass on Fran given his age.
Yes.....and this is my arguement why RU may not have that money. No tree on Livingston campus with $20,000,000.
I don't know how deep Villanova alums pockets are. This $20,000,000 can now be raised by raising ticket prices.
Correcting your post....for a lot of schools football is a huge REVENUE generator. Also extremely expensive!
What does "coach with a track record" mean?
Have we ever gotten a coach with a track record?
While we certainly need to do much better on NIL, this narrative that we have no money is stupid. Revenue sharing starts this year and we stated we will max out at 20.5 million. While we are going to be behind most SEC/B1G teams be equal to almost everyone else. And for being second fiddle to Schiano, just about every P4 coach plays second fiddle to their football coach. I think this is so much talk - no way Nova hires Pike
Fran is the polar opposite as Steve
Steve is nice and Fran is not nice
Frans teams are good at offense, steve's are not
Steves teams are good at D and frabs teams are soft and bad at D
Guessing Fran gets more support...that 3 point shooting PG friends with Geo got $ the day NIL was allowed....they had a pipeline
I take Steve over Fran, that is me
We were able to retain a coach with a track record with a contract extension. Hobbs wasn't being nice we had to extend if we wanted to keep the coach with the track record
Again
1. Where is this $20,000,000 coming from
2. Is FB going to take most of the resources
If NOVA wants Pike with that contract I think there is a great chance it is done.
I don’t love Fran’s antics but I would have taken a younger version of him over current Pikiell.
68 year old Fran?
Nah.
U clearly havent paid attention to bobby hurley at asu
you may choose to ignore it but Pike had a big reputation when he was hired and was noted as a rebuilder of programs.
nova would be the one to pay thisPike's not leaving if he has to pay this

he made the NCAA tournament one time in like 15 years at stony brook idk about big reputation
In reality this will not happen. Pitino and Chris collins are being mentioned and I doubt both of them say no
I keep seeing that “he has a name”.
Did he have a different name than the one that was barely above .500 at ASU?
Then we need to evaluate the people who matter because they are lost and do not know what they are doing
I mean, they can be wrong just like they apparently were about Neptune
Weren't we Pike's 2nd HC job?
Wouldnt say rebuilder of programS.
But anyway. Got it.
So a Stony Brook HC would be a proven track record.
I thought it meant someone that coached above the CAA but I guess not.
In that case, I'm sure we could poach a CAA HC pretty easily if needed.
Do we have more than 1 source that confirms Villanova actually has a level of interest in Pike?
Steve Politi interview last month
——————111111
It all starts with this: Rutgers will be a full player in that new world.
In his first interview since he was thrown into the job six months ago, Pisarri told NJ Advance Media that Rutgers plans to distribute the full $20.5 million — i.e., spend up to the cap — to athletes if a landmark class-action lawsuit is settled this spring as expected.
“When Rutgers made the decision to go into the Big Ten years ago, it was a decision to compete at the highest level,” Pisarri said. “And that’s what our plan is, to compete at the highest level and participate in the revenue share at that level. We still have to figure out exactly what that looks like and the plan around that. But that’s our plan.”
Well, they hired Kyle Neptune to begin with, which seemed pretty stupid, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they do it again.
All the arguments you have had about this team and the last few years have merit. It isn't fair to say Pikiell hasn't built this program.
No offense but we have a plan for a renovated RAC too. Saying we have a plan vs saying we will is what you need to pay attention to. Then read that last sentence.
Basically we have a plan, but no freaking idea how to implement it.
PLUS, how is he supposed to answer that question! Sorry B1G member schools but we won't be able to pay out $20,000,000 of the $80,000,000 you give us because we have a revenue problem.
It's like....son what type of grqdes you going to get this semester? Gee Dad I am hoping for Cs
10 years ago. And Nova doesn’t need to rebuild a program. Nobody rebuilds a program at the P5 level. Everybody restocks every year
Big reputation yet had only coached at stony brook and we were the only p5 to ever offer him a job? Come on.
To add........the fiscal sh!t is going to be hitting the fan over the next 9 months.
We have a gubernatorial race this year
The federal government is shrinking which I think means less to states
Towns are going to have to choose between raising property taxes or school cuts
This all matters because games of sport are costing the state a lot of money. IF RU athletics were self supported that would mean $50,000,000 to $80,000,000 each year that the state would need to send to RU

I take Mitch Henderson over both, easily. If Pike leaves you go all in for him. Depending on where he lives he might not even have to move.
Lol..so having $18 mil vs $2 mil NIL suddenly makes SP a better coach. He's an average jocky who would win because he's riding a better horse..maybe.
