You know they are going to match us up with Alabama
How many guaranteed games? Is it win or go home, or do the losing teams also play each other as another OOC matchup?
If it is, those three and Seton Hall are likely going to be the extent of our OOC SOS.
There are 2 SEC teams, Alabama and Texas A&M, in this as well. I would think they will try to avoid conference teams playing each other unless it can't be avoided. Rutgers and Oregon is only playing once in 24-25 and probably the same for Alabama and Texas A&M might allow for it to happen.
They’ll probably set it up so that conference members would only face each other if they both reach the final.
It would be considered non conference game
The check clear yet?
Let’s go get that center!
Who hasn’t actually signed yet, can we poach someone with our new cash!?!

Looks like we may be in this tournament the next 3 seasons Thats great.
And they will be adding some bigger teams and expanding to 16 teams in 2025. Good to be a part of it.

If so, interesting dilemma. Promise it all to a center and risk some hard feelings on the team, since they all play, or spread it around.
If it’s NIL money, are the teams even allowed to decide though? I thought they had to stay out of any of it.
And the answer: “CBS reported a $1 million participation fee to be paid out to the NIL collective of each participating team, plus additional prize money to the winner (perhaps $1 million).”
My guess is that they will spread some of it around to the whole team, but use the bulk of it to try to address our needs. So, really good news.
I guess my feeling is the university secured this as part of its pool, it did the work to get the deal done, just like KTR does. Not sure why that should impact the deals already made by players currently
With the team.
If my company secures another round of funding it doesn’t mean I automatically get a raise. Maybe it means they can just continue to pay my salary. Maybe it means they can hire those additional PD resources to do some more testing or hire additional sales force.
Great news.
Does this mean HC Pike doesn't care about family and Thanksgiving now?

The university can't solicit it. The collectives work directly with the coaches on distributing NIL. So the money from the tournament will get distributed through the collective to the players.

Back in the 1970s Charlie Finley said that all players should only be allowed one year contracts and at the end of every season everyone becomes a free agent. People laughed at him but that's exactly what college sports has become.
You do know that teams have been getting paid to participate in MTEs for years, right?
The exact tournaments many have been saying for years that Rutgers should be playing in.
"Begun in 2011, the Battle 4 Atlantis not only offered teams generous packages in exchange for their participation, but also used to throw out a generous performance “donation” of up to $200,000 to schools that play in the winner’s bracket."

Rutgers vs.Alabama could be first round matchup because of Cliff transfer.
Sports has been on streaming networks for over a year now. Anyone that still gets riled up by that is out touch.

Give me ND first, Houston second and Bama in the final

Other than Rutgers fans, would anyone else care?
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday games? I would have considered flying out if it was played over the weekend. Don't think the family would like the idea of me missing Thanksgiving.
