I can confirm that this is the case from a very good sourceI assure you that there is not a single person at the "national" level that knows anything about the Rutgers NIL collective, beyond what @RUJON has told local media.
On the record: ZERO promises have been broken by KTR. Every deal is papered, so that the athletes and donors alike are protected.
This is the new negative recruiting. Block out the noise.
Ty sir@superfan01 I'll take this. @RUJON is on international vacation. Please see my post above from 7:29am.
And this folks ^^^ is how you perpetuate a lie. What don't you get? They're fabricating a story hoping it catches on to harm Rutgers because they want Harper.Who was promising these guys anything? Who thought we had the NIL coffers to do that? KTR? Pikiell?
A word of advice, don't ever become a salesman or try to sell anything in your life. Because you fvcking suck at it.If true is anyone willing to join NILto keep Ace and Dylan? You guys hate Indiana? But like to keep your money more? You all actually can help the cause instead of relying on others or shitting on it on “principle “.
Updated the title, but keeping your head in the sand is not helpful.This thread should be deleted there is no reason to have it on our board. At least change the title to call out the BS
Who do you believe more? The people in the collective or some online yahoo from Indiana or Duke?Updated the title, but keeping your head in the sand is not helpful.

gotchaOf course I believe the collective more.
By saying we shouldn’t keep our heads buried in the sand - I’m saying we shouldn’t be letting these yahoos at other schools who do NIL deals with recruits set the tone for how recruits view us. It’s another avenue of negative recruiting that needs to be curbed.
My only question/issue (if I’m incorrect please correct me) why is KTR trying to get deals with as many ru athletes as possible instead of focusing on those that move the needle.@Greene Rice FIG Not sure what you're getting at here? We have monthly memberships and churn assumptions... plus one-time contributions. The collective manages those funds through an All Sports bucket that the executive committee oversees and sport-specific buckets administered by the programs (as Jon noted in this weekend's article). As for the future, we'd love to increase membership at both the individual recurring and corporate levels.
Great point, JayDogSmooth...Writers or Mods suggesting this is BS
Average fans is fine - but that’s bush league for anyone in that capacity to be publishing that
My assumption has always been that they felt the only way to not have the anti-sports Rutgers contingent (faculty, media, politicians, special interest groups, Rutgers 1000-types) completely attack NIL efforts from the start was to make sure women got some of the money right away.My only question/issue (if I’m incorrect please correct me) why is KTR trying to get deals with as many ru athletes as possible instead of focusing on those that move the needle.
I’d rather have kept Cam spencer than make sure a women’s crew team member gets a deal. (Obviously exaggerating here)
Yes, but the thread and your first several posts screaming how much RU sucks at NIL in gargantuan font are simply giving these anti-RU yahoos a platform on this board.Updated the title, but keeping your head in the sand is not helpful.
It's a fair question, @RepeatedCrown6. First of all, let me assure you that having money available for equity in deals by sport / gender does not change the absolute value amount that a Cam Spencer type requires. It would not have changed the math. We believe that getting every sport involved is very important, however, the lion's share of money will go to FB & MBB as @RUJON laid out in his NJ.com quotes. That may be true of the amount of money, but we believe it's important that we continue to do deals with all sports.My only question/issue (if I’m incorrect please correct me) why is KTR trying to get deals with as many ru athletes as possible instead of focusing on those that move the needle.

You didn't explicitly say anything, but you pasted Twitter screen shots with huge fonts filled with crap from message boards saying RU sucks at NIL. Effectively the same thing.Can you point out explicitly where I said RU sucks at NIL?
And where did I use gargantuan font?

Yeah, especially considering how Indiana fans are all over twitter repeating it. Even if it's false it's a bad look for the program.Maybe if TOS didn't feel the need to post bs NIL threads, incessantly, these type of things wouldn't happen? I'm one of many currently NOT happy with what's been going on over there, for about a 6 weeks now, and can definitely see this being the basis for this dudes tweets.
I thought the same thing.A word of advice, don't ever become a salesman or try to sell anything in your life. Because you fvcking suck at it.
The also have Mark Cuban writing the checks and it’s the only reason why they are even in the conversation with some guys…. Indiana is a dump..Indiana fans are grasping at straws. Losers
Hopefully any of the sensible posters still over there cancel their memberships and focus on this board. If they are already here great then why waste the time and money for BS? Save the money and donate to NIL.Maybe if TOS didn't feel the need to post bs NIL threads, incessantly, these type of things wouldn't happen?

Im not sure if @snowboarder is supposed to be me but I have yet to make an NIL promise so it would be impossible for me to break one.Now I know posting things from other boards isn’t generally ok, but the Indiana board over on 247 has writers suggesting that @RUJON and @snowboarder aren’t keeping to existing promises. If staff over on other boards is taking to this kind of attack on guys at Rutgers, well I think chucking out those rules about not posting premium is fine.
Is this “irresponsible” journalism?
TOS is just repeating what Jon, Pike and Schiano are saying.Maybe if TOS didn't feel the need to post bs NIL threads, incessantly, these type of things wouldn't happen?

If you don’t see what’s been going on over there the last 6 to 8 week, I don’t know what to tell you, but you’re welcome to your own opinion.TOS is just repeating what Jon, Pike and Schiano are saying.
Care to share? I never visit and if they're trying to actively harm RU we can't have it.If you don’t see what’s been going on over there the last 6 to 8 week, I don’t know what to tell you, but you’re welcome to your own opinion.
It’s not as bad as he’s insinuating. He’s just being very passive aggressive not sure why.Care to share? I never visit and if they're trying to actively harm RU we can't have it.
Nothing going on over there. They are just reporting what Jon, Pike, and Schiano are telling them about NIL. Which is we need to step it up. They are also saying Hobbs needs to do more. Which I think everything agrees with.Care to share? I never visit and if they're trying to actively harm RU we can't have it.
