Hey Al…..

[superfan02]

Given our fiscal situation and Greg's contract and the success he has had here I support Greg coming back for 1 more year with a bowl game or bust stipulation.

I don’t want a team just good enough to save Greg’s job.

Let’s cut ties now and target real success.

Sounds expensive. Not sure where the money is going to come from. 7-5 and bowl should be our goal every year.

I don't think you or many on here are realistic to Rutgers football. Your dont seem like someone who truly grasps our financial situation, revenue and what it takes to win in college football.

 

[kupuna133]

No they don’t.

2026 Iowa’s roster is being paid 23.6 M
2026 RU’s roster is being paid 21.3

Extra 2.3M buys a solid defense!!!!!!!!

it’s the $$$$$$. It’s always the money.

Schiano is a great coach, we don’t have the Jimmies and Joes.

Zinn couldn’t get it done! I guess that she had a Sophie’s Choice, so she gave the money to B-Ball.

I see what you did there. You took the high range of the data point for estimated roster cost for Iowa and the low for Rutgers.
But 2 can play at that game. Same google search. One for Iowa and one for Rutgers.


Iowa estimated roster cost nil 2026


For the 2026 college football season, Iowa’s estimated total roster cost ranges from $17 million to $23.6 million, depending on the tracking model and how revenue sharing is factored in.

Rutgers estimated roster cost nil 2026
Rutgers’ total estimated 2026 Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) athletic and football roster costs range from $20 million to $30.8 million depending on the index source

Wow so we outspent Iowa by $13m+ and can’t beat UMass or BC.

Sure Al, keep gaslighting us through burner accounts.

 

[RU#1fan]

Iowa City is Iowa. Ames is Iowa St.

The Idiot Al doesn’t even know where a B1G opponent is located. Total dope.

 

[kupuna133]

I don’t know what’s worse. Al having what many perceive to be multiple aliases. Or being a real poster being labeled one of his aliases.

 

[RUChet]

You Negatoids are too much! Nothing will satisfy your self-loathing hatred. It’s Schiano bad, Schiano bad , Schiano bad….
It’s like you suffer from from some crazy syndrome, you know, like a derangement syndrome!

That’s it! Eureka!!
Its Schiano Derangement Syndrome. SDS

Lmao. Schiano is a losing coach. He just doesn’t win consistently. He’s under 30% in B1G games. Take away his ~15 FCS wins and his overall winning % is way worse.

You have “Schiano is the almighty derangement syndrome”

We should have BCs money or UMass as clearly they have more money than us as they both beat us

Yet the extra $20 mil Rutgers spent their roster couldnt buy anything but a performance vs UMass. You make zero sense but keep on trolling.

Superfan02 might be Al. Bergen goes way back on this board and previous in his discontent for the AD and love for GS.

Yea I’m not the one saying it. I’m laughing at it. More than anything.

As insufferable as delusionAL is now as RU sucks, I wonder how much worse he’d be if we were a perennial 8-10 win program! I’m guessing entire other forums would probably have guidelines to block his a$$

Yea we can all find outliers. But the one that Al posted as gospel in another thread. Then discounted it later because it didn’t fit his narrative any longer. Had Iowa at 17-21mm. So take all of these with a grain of salt.

The Iowa Hawkeyes rank No. 55 out of 68 Power Four teams in football Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) spending, with an estimated roster budget of $17 million to $21 million (as reported in The Athletic's college football NIL spending analysis).

And usually when you post these things you would give the source. Not just random numbers.

There is no f-ing way Rutgers football is spending 21 million on NIL this year.

 

[LETSGORU91]

Thank you. Very few have been put on that list. I'll consider it.

 

[NickRU714]

There is no f-ing way Rutgers football is spending 21 million on NIL this year.

I believe that is total roster spending.
Which includes Revenue Share of approx $16m(?) for just about everyone.
I would imagine all B1G schools are all allocating approx the same % to CFB.

 

[Section124]

Superfan02 might be Al. Bergen goes way back on this board and previous in his discontent for the AD and love for GS.

Agree. Scarletbergen is just a dope. Even though Al is from Bergen originally, I know it's not Al due to his hate for Hobbs (called him Hobbshi). Hobbs probably failed him in law school. Most likely a Schiano relative.

You said Schiano couldn't out coach a $2m difference in roster spending.

That's one of the most blatant "Schiano bad" comments on the board.
Maybe you should check your own "SDS".
You seem to have one of the lowest opinions on his coaching ability.

 

[Section124]

1. Oregon: $43.4M

3. USC: $34.7M
4. Michigan: $33.0M

10. UCLA: $24.3M
11. Maryland: $23.7M
12. Iowa: $23.6M
13. Michigan State: $23.1M
14. Minnesota: $22.6M
15. Illinois: $21.9M
16. Rutgers: $21.3M
17. Northwestern: $21.0M
18. Purdue: $20.4

So this means if we had a better coach, we would get wins against peer schools.

Sad reality is that they did.

 

[NewHondo77]

Then you accept mediocrity as the goal. Then we should go back to the American. We don’t belong in the Big Ten.

17. Northwestern: $21.0M
18. Purdue: $20.4

And we still couldn’t beat UMass or BC.

 

[jsol_05]

Schiano can't overcome a $2m difference in roster funds?
That doesn't sound like a great coach.

Why are you so negative about his abilities?
All your posits come across as if he is just sitting in a chair twiddling thumbs while he team is losing to UMass, BC and can't compete with Iowa.

You should have more faith in his coaching ability.

Would you put your $$$$ on his coaching ability?

You Negatoids are just delusional! Nothing matters to you. No logic, no reality, no loyalty, no principals, nothing! Sure, let’s get the mythical Brian Kelly to Coach for free and save us from the best Coach we have ever had in history! Good luck with that!
