You have too much faith in a coach with a losing record. Let not look at the top of the Big 10, let’s look at Nebraska, Illinois, and Purdue. We should be about even when it comes to NIL, let see what they do compared to GS next year. Pulling upset, man I still get nightmares of UNH coming in here and pulling an upset. No excuses we are in the Big 10, either we can get it done under GS or it time for another coach. He has 2 more years, he is on the clock

NIL sucks and to me has ruined college sports. I liken it to how pure the 1980 USA Gold Medal in hockey was when we were truly a team of amateurs beating those pay for play Russians. I get the fact every program can now pay players when in the past the Blue Bloods were the only ones getting away with it. Still, the answer should have been to police the cheaters better and not have this NIL bullshit.
NIL hasn’t changed anything. The only way NIL would make the rich richer in terms of talent is if 4 and 5 star players are willing to sit on the bench 2-3 years while getting paid handsomely until their number is called. That hasn’t happened, so 4 stars are still looking elsewhere to get playing time if the big boys are giving it to them, just like it was pre NIL. At the end of the day these guys want to play, NIL is icing on the cake.
You may believe that if you choose.
I don’t.
GS recruited NFL talent all over the field during 1.0.
It’s my opinion he’d do it again under the old rules.
Don’t know if we’d win, but 7 or 8 NFL level players on the field at once helps.
I don’t see that occurring in this environment

It’s the same people who swear off watching sports over political bs. They still watch, they just want attention and to complain. Drama queens.
He’s still pulling NFL talent on the defensive side of the ball, offense is a gargantuan mess that goes way beyond NIL.
Don’t know whom you’re speaking of, I either watch or don’t watch based on my interest level.
I’ve watched RU for 50 years and will continue to do so, I’m just usually at the driving range before the end of the 3rd quarter now
NIL $ used to come in brown paper bags, "loaner" cars or really lucrative jobs for family members. Always has and always will be the case that that the big payers get the best guys that are for sale. Nothing is different now.
I can careless what people do. What’s bothersome is to have the ability to help but do nothing. Yet still live here daily complaining when things do not go well. It’s a major part of many peoples lives but not enough for a 10 dollar a month that gets matched.
As some of us deciphered right away, NIL sponsorship deals immediately went to pay for play.
It’s different now because one super wealthy booster can immediately change the fortunes of any team. We just don’t have that person.
We have many opinions many posts and anonymous posters. We have 6 dudes that are not super rich but offered to double whatever is donated and we have mostly crickets. Less than 200 total step ups that’s crickets.
Complaining is what sports fans do, it’s why the Jets will dominate Metro area talk radio today and not the Giants.
Free market, why can’t players make $$$. Why should the schools be the only one to. Profit off off the players’ NIL.
This is worse. The jets are not offering you an opportunity to better our situation with 6 guys willing to match your donation. This Rutgers situation is more personal and emotional because most are grads and many here live here day in and day out. Yet choose to do nothing but try to shut it down.
How is that different than in the past? Aside from us knowing who is paying.
Think that hasn't been going on @ Texass (and all other big boys) since the very beginning?
As it pertains to us ifor football it’s completely different.
That’s quite obvious.
Recruiting and free agent portal tells you that.

I don’t see people saying they’re not fans of Rutgers football anymore.
I do see fans saying they don’t like NIL and complaining about it.
Shouldn't profit off NIL. But you know damn well that's not what the cash is about.
NJ has WAY more corporate wealth to engage in this stuff. The fact is no NJ based businesses give a rats ass about supporting the State U. if NJ.
Historical example is JnJ. The list of possibilities is long. We could blow away most states.
Maybe the Governor needs to twist some arms.
Maybe Jersey Mike's should pay Rutgers Players instead of Danny DeVito.
Maybe Rutgers should charge JM a couple mil less each year to sponsor the RAC in exchange for NIL. ?
Freaking options are there. Rutgers can complete if they got their heads out of their butts.
There’s literally no business case to support Rutgers NIL. Now if we were to start Winning big, corporations will be rushing to sponsor kids, but the market is currently nonexistent.
Unfortunately this is the case. Put Geo Baker or Ron Harper on TV. Every one of us would recognize them instantly, but how many of the general public would? Meanwhile Bryce Young is making Dr. Pepper commercials.
So how do you explain the lack of creativity to repurpose funds that would be cost neutral to the companies?
Btw.. Cliff and Paul have no value? B S.
These same corporations didn't do squat when Rutgers was making football waves. What was the name of that first company to sponsor the stadium and for how much?
True NIL is about the free open market.
What’s its never been is collectives shopping for sponsors to pay players with someone else’s money.
Anyone truly interested in supporting a player would be much better off bypassing the collective and offering the player 10 grand directly to come to your birthday party.
Take off your scarlet lensed glasses. Paul and Cliff don’t have any recognition outside the Rutgers Fanbase. The only thing corporations are interested in is ROI
Of course, NIL is all about ROI.
Still the corporation CEO could be a huge RU fan and pay any kid he wants directly
