    OT: FIFA debacle

    I assume people have heard about Infantino's plan to sell half of FIFA to private equity. All his staff are resigning in protest. EUFA (the Europeans) said they will boycott the World Cup, Just about everyone is recoiling from the idea of selling off the World Cup for some extra cash...

    FB Recruiting Aiden Gibson flips from Penn State to Rutgers, will join program immediately

    His NIL offers from both schools were way in excess of a car. Is he getting a free sweatshirt also? "Darn Rutgers and their free sweatshirts!"

    RU ranked as PSUs 3rd most exciting matchup

    USA Today ranks us as PSUs 3rd most exciting matchup. Shows progress. A few years ago the idea that we’d be an exciting matchup for them would be laughable. Ranking Penn State’s Most Exciting Matchups

    Tracking what the rest of the Big 10 is doing

    I'll defend Bac. He's a die hard RU fan that has had his soul crushed by this program. He preemptively looks for the worst to prevent getting hurt again. But if the team starts winning he quickly gets on the wagon and enjoys the ride.

    Football Rutgers adds LIU + UConn home / home to schedule

    I like it. I agree with all the strategic reasons not to play UConn. But as a fan I have way more interest in the game and wanting to pound them than I would for any random team. Same with Cuse or BC. Bring it on. Play Cuse every year. Nobody cares about Maryland. Play the teams the fans care...

    Basketball Rutgers Basketball ranks Top 20 nationally in the Transfer Portal

    The metric is constructed so that teams with bad players have more room to improve. It would be very hard for Michigan to score high because the best portal class in the country only replicates what they had. But it is also true that if RU was not high on this list that would be a disaster. So...

    Basketball Kaden Powers set to return to Rutgers Basketball for 2026-27 season

    I’m pretty happy about the retention of the back court. Im old fashioned and I want to root for the team that has seniors and teamwork. They didn’t suck last year, especially considering Lino and Kaden were freshmen and they had no frontcourt help. I don’t know if Pike will build them as a...

    Basketball Rutgers Basketball ranks Top 20 nationally in the Transfer Portal

    Nowhere to go but up. If we didn’t rank highly that would be major cause for concern.

    Basketball Kaden Powers set to return to Rutgers Basketball for 2026-27 season

    Culture is huge in making a team where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

    Basketball Rutgers Basketball lands Manhattan transfer forward Will Sydnor

    The big change is the speed and focus. All three of the incoming portal players are guys, but especially Gurdak, that could easily have gotten priced up as time went by and teams got desperate after missing out on their top few priorities. We locked these guys in early and now are in a good...

    Basketball Tariq Francis set to return to Rutgers Basketball for 2026-27 season

    I think whether this is OK or not completely depends on how much of our salary budget we had to spend to get to this point. This is potentially a serviceable but budget backcourt. So if we signed these players frugally so we can focus on frontcout players, then it's OK. If we had to spend half...

    Hector we have a problem: RU grad sues school over sports spending

    I would support this law suit if they just changed the target from the Athletics Department to the Human Resources Department. Year after year the HR Department sucks up valuable resources with no discernible value added, no revenue, and no plan for fiscal self sustainability.

    2027 NCAA for RU?

    I wonder what happened to those rumored multi year contracts. That would really help Pike, RU, and the quality and state of basketball. Because you need to get at least a year out of a player you develop after the year you develop them.
