Gotcha. Yeah, I don't know how I feel about 1% coaches telling the public to create NIL donations for players they need. To each their own. Maybe the rules should be changed to allow for coaches to make contributions.

Maybe the rules should be changed so the university pays them instead of milking fans who already pay for tickets parking concessions, merchandise, and mandatory donations.
Or better yet, maybe NIL is what it's supposed to be, and these kids can go get jobs and profit off of their name, image, and likeness by selling tshirts or being in a video game. Collectives are going to kill college sports, if they're not dead already.

Whatever maybe maybe and more excuses it’s the way of the world now. You have time to waste hour after hour here but not enough to help the coach’s get players. Look at the schools Cliff is considering he is going to get paid next year. If we had Cliff we could be very dangerous but RU fake diehards rather discuss the same threads daily but that’s it discuss. Every other college or university can get down but not us. There are going to be some people spending thousands to fly to USC this October hoping for a win but can’t give 25 a month to get players. It’s ridiculous but instead let’s pump are chest about Dillon and Ace and you did nothing about it. People want the players to be loyal sons in this climate but offer nothing in return.

Counterpoint: shut the **** up
 
Detail your exact donations or **** off, bitch.
The rules of the board only apply to outliers. $175 a month for football and $175 for basketball. You can’t give $25 a month for one sport? Your all in already your on the board like if it’s a full time job. Why did I have to detail my donation so you can talk shit about that too?

No idea what rules you are talking about. You don’t know me and have no idea what I do or do not donate. You for some reason post on the board to make fun of people.. for posting on the board. You’re either an idiot or some kind of sick ****, either way you’re not a useful fan or contributor here.

I’m not sure how many hours you take to put together each one of your genius level posts but I can assure you my ~2.5 posts per day here since joining have not required me to put in full time hours.

I’d be willing to be t you dont dónate shit but want to somehow win. You are just a foul mouth person who spends hours a day here but can’t fully do what’s necessary to get the team what it needs. So what did you ask for what I donate for? I don’t care what you think a useful contributor is and what does that even mean.

I don't got that bad of a mouth, do I?
****! Shit! Ass! Bitch! ****! Shooby-de-doo-wop! (Oops)

You post almost once per day on this message board to tell people they are wasting their time posting on this message board. That’s some pretty sick ass mother****ing behavior, but carry on you goddamn weirdo.

I make fun of two people and it was not you. I do despise people who spend considerable amount of time on this board and Rutgers sports in general and understand the current climate but won’t do a thing about it. Now that is a waste of time. Why did you u ask me how much I give to NIL? Cursing at posters is supposed to get you banned but it only works when you have different thoughts from the masses.

365 I know you mean well
But trust me brother, berating people isn't going to get them donate

It frustrates the hell out of me that people are cheap

We've got more excuses on this board of why people don't donate than my 9 year old does regarding not doing her chores around the house

End of the day it's very simple
The coaches in all sports have outlined it time and time again

Either donate, or continue losing
I don't enjoy losing
And I truly believe we have elite potential in most / all sports
Hence, I donate

But as much as it frustrates me that people don't donate, vis a vis the amount of time they spend on this board, I don't begrudge them

It's their money, their time, etc.

But like i've said countless times....if you don't donate, you cannot talk about how we're not good. No whining, no complaining, no nothing

It's a paradigm of life. Whoever's writing the checks calls the shots

Fine. Maybe I’ve been a little unfair.
Why did you u ask me how much I give to NIL?
Because you’re complaining about people not giving to NIL.
Cursing at posters is supposed to get you banned
Never heard this nor have I ever noticed anyone get banned for it.
but it only works when you have different thoughts from the masses.
Not sure what “masses” those are. This is a fairly polarized board.
 
The amount of time people spend on this board posting about the one thing we all love (Rutgers athletics), as opposed to signing up for a $10 monthly donation that will directly contribute to the success (or lack thereof) of Rutgers athletics , is truly mind boggling.
You’re describing college football UNICEF. We need our Walmart family and T. Boone Pickens.

While Pike can’t donate to an NIL collective, Pike has made generous donations to Rutgers through legal avenues.

Boo hoo. If he can’t navigate this new world that he gets paid millions of dollars a year for, he should quit so his school can hire someone better suited for this environment.

Lol they can leave anytime or break their contracts. Go teach gym and jv soccer somewhere
These are weird comments imo given that the sentiments mirror those of many fans.

It’s not weird. Guys are complaining about their profession . Go do something else if is that bad.
Any career coach, headhunter or mental health expert would tell their client that

Someone asked the guy a question and he answered it. Really not sure what your problem is. Coaches are only ever allowed to say positive things about coaching? Seems stupid.
 
Any time someone comments about coaches complaining about their mental health and health... I try to remind them of what happened to Skip Prosser, his death was generally attributed to the grind of recruiting and being on the road and the stress that came along with it... and that was in 2007...

I get it, there are people here who only value money, so they're mad that a coach makes millions and comments something isn't healthy. They're also mad some teenagers are making money. But these are human beings and all the money in the world doesn't mean it's a healthy situation.

Lots of professions are stressful. Lots of professions pay less than power 5 head basketball coach

Yes, this national tragedy of all the coaches committing suicide is heartbreaking. I worry daily about Calipari, Pitino and Izzo no longer being able to handle all this pressure and ending it all. If only they had chosen some lower stress job like inner city cop, hostage negotiator, or bomb squad specialist, we wouldn’t have to worry about this scourge of death in the coaching ranks.
