We demonstrated we were capable of being good under the old system. We mostly didn't make an effort, so we mostly performed poorly. But when we did make an effort, after five years of putting in the work, we had a Top 10 football team (and that was in a dogshit conference).
I'm not quite sure Ruiz has all that much time for this to work out. Something tells me he's going to have to be spending what he has left on lawyers pretty soon.
I never said we didn’t .
Because I attended the school. The Jets have sucked for 50 years and I still turn on the television set on Sundays. Do you think I follow Rutgers sports because we win?
The quality of play and the competition is good in D1 college baseball. It is a lot fun to go to games and root for these athletes representing Rutgers and NJ.
Not sure if anyone responded to your question. To me it’s a very similar game as MLB. In fact, I really can’t think of a major difference, other than the pitchers don’t often hit 100 MPH and maybe have a little less control.
Eventually they will unionize and become employees of each conference. Will be very easy to work out tbh.
BTW, one of the provisions of the NIL bill above would prevent student athletes from being considered employees. That would prevent unionization. But who knows if it will pass and in what form.
Once upon a time RU was going to die in the Big East and shut down the football program.
Lots of people expect that to happen but not with all of the programs in the B1G and SEC.
Meaning 1 division of the Michigan, Ohio states, Alabama’s of the world? And a 2nd division of the Rutgers of the world?
No, he means one mega-conference of Professional college football - comprised of the 35-40 biggest college fanbases ... and everyone else playing non-scholarship sports (like the Ivy League). And he's further saying that being in the 2023 Big Ten or SEC is not going to be an automatic invitation into SuperConference.
The article began, "The Big Ten has completed a new seven-year media rights agreement." That statement is false.
didn't that deal get signed in 2022 and will start July of this year.?
I think (but am not sure) that what he is talking about is that there is apparently an unresolved issue. https://www.espn.com/college-footba...missioner-television-deal-coaches-uncertainty
thanks, know there's an unresolved issue , but didn't think about that when I asked .
Yes, that is what I'm hearing, repeatedly, from people who pay far more attention to college football than I do.
It sounds to me like a minor issue -- it doesn't involve much money. As I understand it, the rest of the deal is in place, so really this isn't a big stumbling block.
