I'm very confident that any mbb coach at Rutgers will get as much revenue sharing as at least 90+% coaches out there. Who is getting more. The only schools funding the full amount to begin with are sec and B1G schools (plus a few others that can afford it). So unless you think Rutgers will allocate more of the max to football than other max schools do, well, see my math above.
Your math has Rutgers basketball getting 2.05 million of the revenue sharing (10% of 20.5 mil). I'm saying if I were a coach coming to coach basketball at the schools with both football and basketball, I'd have it written into my contract that basketball gets at least 5 mil of the 20.5. And I think you are going to see that start happening, particularly at schools like Rutgers where it has been difficult historically to win.
And my point is what school other than maybe Duke or NC (neither of which can likely fully fund to begin with) would do that? The deal you are putting out there as the need isn't realistic anywhere. The Rutgers coach will do as well as any other coach and better than the vast majority
Yeah, and that's my point... Rutgers won't do that so they won't get a top coach. If they fire Pikiell (they won't), the candidates are going to not be as good as you think.
Huh? Doing better than 90% of schools isn't enough? I'm out on this one. Good luck to you and hope you don't work in finance
This is what I'm saying. GOOD LUCK TO RUTGERS GETTING A GOOD COACH IF THEY WERE TO FIRE PIKES (which they won't)! Thank you for finally agreeing with me!
there are not 10 better players in college basketball than dylan harper. ace is a little more of a raw talent, but he has the skill to be an All-B1G player this season, and it’s up to Pike to tap some of his potential in the here and now and use him effectively
Sorry but calling for someone to be fired with no plan seem idiotic.
Your posts suggest that you have no idea how hard it is to be a coach in a middle (at best) to lower athletic program in the big ten. You can’t just hire a new coach and like magic, you become a high level program. There is a very high chance that any coach they hire to replace Pike will fail. There are many factors going against you (money, fan base, history and politics to name a few) at a school like Rutgers. It’s just reality. What Pike has done is incredible. Could someone else do it? Sure it’s possible, just not likely. It’s not about settling, it’s about giving your program the best chance at winning. Pike has done that at a high level and the fact they you keep quoting his ncaa tournament record just shows your lack of understanding.
I don't agree with you and think you are completely wrong. I have explained why in detail several times. You just don't seem capable of understanding. Which is fine. The world needs you too. But I am moving on
You need to compare Rutgers to the other Big Ten schools. That’s who the coach will be competing against.
you’re telling me that Pike gives our program the best chance at winning but you also tell me I can’t criticize his lack of NCAA tournament success? when do we get to the winning part?
Many of us are thinking about the past 30 years. Our biggest problem this year is trying to find combinations that work. I think we would have been doing better if we had several guys returning and trying to fit a handful in. Trying to fit 10 in with 3 returning is not easy. We have also been in most games. Do we need to improve? Absolutely. However, I did have a lot of concern about the complete overhaul from the beginning.
Same TV revenue as them and more than the masses other than the sec. Cry poverty all you want. It's not true and there is more than enough to find a very competitive program
Agree. Can't see a scenario otherwise. Doesn't mean I agree. I just think Rutgers and it's fans are way too complacent. Everything needs to be shoved up their @sses like Flood, Julie and Ash before they can accept change. And that's begrudgingly because it already happened and they didn't have a choice
What he meant to say was anyone on this board. Don't paint all fans as delusional
He is not getting canned this year but his seat will be scorching hot. It will be a massive massive national failure and if he misses the tourney in 25-26 he's absolutely fired.
It wont happen any time soon but theyd have a line out the door.
I wouldn't take that bet if we do not go to the tourney this year. Seat will be red hot.
He is down to, yeah but NIL payout won't be 5M only 2M so no one will take the job so we should just keep missing the tournament because the current guy got us there in the play in game 4 years ago.
That is literally not what I'm saying, sir. I am saying that any coach worth their salt is going to ask for a ton of money guaranteed from the revenue sharing. Probably starting around 5 mil written into their contract. Rutgers will likely balk at that and move on to secondary choices.
Probably 2.5-3mm to start. Which is a heckuva lot more than any mid major coach will have at their school and more than enough to hire away any top tier assistant who wants to become a HC.
You realize your entire argument right now is basically we cannot do better than get bounced first weekend of the tournament and we won't have NIL money anyway so keep the status quo.
Liked him as he was a brad underwood disciple from the area. Id like to run a brad underwood type system.
Yeah, but none of them are on Rutgers ... which is the problem.
