Wait… So we are not putting Indiana on upset alert? If only we had a Fieldhouse.
Rutgers doesn’t win enough because most of you don’t donate enough

- Start date
Sort of incredible that Al is now starting to trash the entire university. Really motivating me to open my wallet more, Al. Brilliant strategy!
It’s not about his strategy. It’s about
- The Product
- The Product
- The Product
this entire thread is about the Product and why it is inferior to competing offerings, which is why recruits are opting to go elsewhere. If I take off my RutgersAl hat and put on my discerning football recruit hat, I’m choosing
- PSU over Rutgers 100 times out of 100
- Michigan over Rutgers 100 times out of 100
- Ohio State over Rutgers 100 times out of 100
- USC over Rutgers 100 times out of 100
- Miami over Rutgers 100 times out of 100
- Wisconsin over Rutgers 100 times out of 100
- Oregon over Rutgers 100 times out of 100
- Washington over Rutgers 100 times out of 100
these value propositions are so much stronger than Rutgers, that the choices are no brainers.
Rutgers only competitive advantage is:
- Our Location
- Greg Schiano
So if we want to be able to compete, we have to improve our value proposition
A weak class with kids who could have helped Rutgers at the top of it, but instead opted to go to USC and Ohio State because Rutgers value proposition is so weak.
Because they are sick of the BS results and want Rutgers to be Champions. We don’t need everyone, just 1K to kick in $100K. Then another 1K to kick in $15K yearly.
There isn’t enough support to be successful in the Big Ten. The ACC is a better fit, resource wise.
We had a chance to beat Ohio State, ND, and Alabama 2 years ago, as long as we stayed healthy, which didn’t happen. Mohamed Toure led Miami to victory over two of those teams this past year. This is a developmental program which can compete once in a while, once enough talent has been accumulated.
Come on, Man! Get real!! Penn State just blew $700M + on their stadium improvements. They spent $55M to expand and improve their football operations Center since ‘21.
our spending is nowhere near the top programs when NIL and infrastructure is considered. Not even in the same Galaxy.
Our Coach has a plan. He just doesn’t have the resources to implement it. This is where we’re at.
It took 2 months and a ton of money because Rutgers doesn’t have the defensive players to succeed. We don’t have the players because we don’t have enough NIL support and adequate facilities.
Greg would have had the support to recruit at other schools so the point is moot.
- Greg recruited 4 and 5 stars at Ohio State
- Greg recruited 4 and 5 stars at Miami
- Greg hasn’t been able to recruit enough 4 and 5 stars to Rutgers because he doesn’t have the support
Not true. Miami’s success only came after 4 years of consistent investments. Rutgers even beat Miami in the ‘23 bowl game
Maaaaan what? I know you're not comparing Miamis football cache to Rutger's lol...think they had a foundation to stand on..what is Rutgers standing on? Telling recruits about the first ever football game and Paul Robeson? I mean that is rich history but Miamis is a little more recent and sellable lol
Since you agree it was a weak class, that makes your original comment disingenuous. It has nothing to do with the value proposition because when Rutgers football was at it's peak most of the Top 10 left the state. Jersey kids want to go elsewhere for college. None of your mistruths or lies will change that.
Come on man! You’re using an $86 million investment in facilities at Indiana as an example. Now pivot to Penn State. Why because your Indiana example has warts. Indiana invested $86 million on 2 major projects. When did those projects take place Al? 2009 and 2018. Roughly the same time frame we put over $110 million addition to our stadium. And those projects at Indiana weren’t football specific. They are utilized by all athletes. “The IU Excellence Academy. The innovative, student-centered, 66,575-square foot facility enclosed the south end of the stadium to create a bowl effect for spectators as well as a bold new "front door" to the IU Athletics campus. The Excellence Academy houses premiere medical, rehabilitation and nutrition facilities, as well as first-of-its-kind leadership and life skills center and program for the benefit of all IU's student-athletes.”
How much did RU spend on facilities in that time frame. Guess what. It’s a lot more than $86 million.
Oh ok, sunshine and rainbows...don't you work in finance or something? Do you invest in assets based on how it has performed recently/historically or do you invest in the founder that says "trust me bro" with no product.. were you one of those guys burned by madoff or theranos? Lol
Greg didn’t recruit them Urban Meyer! Greg also coached the statistical worst defense in OSU history. With 8 kids drafted, 5 of them in the 1st round, 2 of them in the top 5! lol great Job
you also forgot to mention ton his time at PSU
You continue to ignore Greggy’s poor results AND he would have been fired 3 years ago from any of the schools you like to compare us too. Keep trying this is fun
Remember. DeadbeatAl was the same guy saying this program would win the NC every year up until a year go. I’m still caught up on his thread title. “We don’t win because most of YOU don’t donate enough”. Only to have him trip himself up and tell the world he in fact donates nothing. What a loser.
DeadbeatAl loves business jargon. “Value proposition”. One donated a dollar every time he used it Schiano would have his field house.
I think he thinks it makes him sound smart.
I think he thinks it makes him sound smart.
He’s in neither. He donates 0. He purchases tickets and a parking pass. That’s his “donation”.
You can’t even afford premium anymore. Just STFU you broke beta male.
Do I need to show you my bank statement?
not asking for anything I wouldn’t be able to do myself. This needs to be a partnership among concerned fans. Otherwise it’s not going to work.
The operative word you keep using is “able”. You’re able but you admitted to not doing so. Yet you come in this board and demand others to carry your load.
This is the fricking problem Al. You’re on here preaching to a group of people on this board who do a) exactly what you’re doing or b) more.
This board is full of people who are paying for premium parking and season tickets. That is the minimum price of entry. And you’re here lecturing to people doing either the same as you or more than you.
Yes, we need bigger donors. Shouting at the sky about it and saying the same thing over and over across 100+ posts isn’t getting it done. Sit down and let Keli & Pres Tate work on this.
How much? So you no ly “donate” when you are getting f provided goods or services.
You’re why we aren’t winning. Yet have the nerve to call out others publicly. Shameful.
