Recruiting

This. Anyone have more on that?

VTech doesn’t spend $$$ on a RTC and instead uses that money to make big time offers.

rumors of $5M per year are being thrown out there...

He says in this interview nowhere near the numbers people are throwing around on social media.

I’m guessing somewhere between $250K-$500K p/yr X 5 years

I know what we offered and what Iowa offered

Yea, he is not going to go public on what his NIL offer is. Iowa offered a bag of $$$ and he took it. Like I said in an earlier post, I do not blame him and his family. Too good of an NIL to pass up.

It was illogical from the beginning that Rutgers would be in contention. I'm embarrassed that I found myself believing it was possible. Rutgers does not meet any of his criteria. I am glad we're not going to be told again that we were runner-up. That one has gotten old.

Iowa and Okie State make sense for him. Aside from the money, he will have Lee to work with at Iowa and if it turns out to be Okie State, he'll have Gilman. I did think it was going to be Okie State and still do unless the money won out. In another forum, someone had quoted Bo as having said (earlier) that he would go wherever Taylor was.

I don’t blame him. But the numbers being discussed. Especially the 5M/ year I replied to is so off base it’s unbelievable. People went over Spencer Rattler,QBfrom South Carolinas (reportedly highest paid NIL of the time )deal line item by line item and it was nowhere near the numbers discussed. Most of the NIL deals are transfers in kind. Use of house use of car etc.., not gifting a house not gifting a car. And that’s a revenue sport. As Bo says the sport is not there yet.

Hate to say it but if PSU, Okie St, and Iowa continue to corner the wrestling market and own the transfer portal, interest in wrestling will continue to drop. There was a time when my son and I (and his buddies) would make a big deal about a Friday night match-up like Iowa-PSU. Sort of like the wrestling Super Bowl. Now, forget it there is no suspense. Plus, it’s never good for B1G when you have teams like Whisky and Michigan struggling.

And before the insults start flying, please note that I am Rutgers season ticket holder in wrestling and football, so I can’t be accused of being an RU hater - as a Jersey guy, I want RU to win as long as it isn’t against Penn State (my alma mater).

This means nothing to some on here , I’m in the same boat as you, supporting Rutgers for years , rooting for them except against penn state ,never disparaging the RU staff or athletes and I still get told off half the time I post here now

The NCAA needs to implement a version of the antitrust law.

As a PSU fan, do you enjoy the dominance? There really isn't any question of outcome. I'd probably enjoy it for a while but then grow bored. I think the most exciting tennis, football, soccer, wrestling, etc matches are the competitive ones.

It’s not that surprising

as a Rutgers fan. I would very much enjoy it if we were that dominant
