    Baseball Rutgers Baseball announces full 2027 schedule

    Yeah, scarletknights.com lists 2027 baseball home games as simply New Jersey, not Bainton Field, Piscataway, NJ.

    Firing Greg makes zero financial sense.

    Greg’s two general managers, Josephs and Wolkstein, were hired years before Keli joined.

    What does it say under “game time”?

    Firing Greg makes zero financial sense.

    Below are donation figures for B1G athletic departments, not football specifically, because schools allocate donation dollars to sports or non-sport-specific differently. Rutgers has not made much progress with 2.0. The gap between Rutgers and the conference median is running $30 million per...

    2027 US News Rankings: Rutgers #14 Public

    No need to guess. Rutgers lists it all on its website. Rutgers has 13 majors related to foreign languages. Many languages such as Polish are offered as classes but not as majors.

    Firing Greg makes zero financial sense.

    The seating capacity of Oregon and Rutgers stadiums are close to the same - low 50,000s. Oregon does 3x the ticket sales. Why? Oregon football is the only game in town, the team has had a winning record 19 out of 20 seasons, and Oregon jams in thousands of standing-room-only ticket buyers...

    Firing Greg makes zero financial sense.

    Here is football ticket sales for the 16 public Big Ten schools. The numbers are from the 2025 fiscal year, the most recent reported, which covers the 2024 football season.

    Firing Greg makes zero financial sense.

    Big Ten median on ticket sales is around $20 million. Just getting ticket sales to a normal B1G level would be more than enough to replace the football coaching regime.

    Firing Greg makes zero financial sense.

    Nope. That's $2 million per year.

    Firing Greg makes zero financial sense.

    If Rutgers football did $10 million lower ticket sales revenue, then Rutgers football would do zero or even negative ticket sales revenue. Rutgers football ticket sales revenue was $9,242,445 in the most recent available data.

    Does it make any sense to fire Schiano right now or wait until the end of the season? If you were AD, what is your plan?

    Current catering deal sends a percentage of gross sales of beverages at SHI and RAC to Rutgers, none to athletics. Let's see if that changes. FYI - I checked LSU and it is the same, the concession money from the athletic venues goes to the university, not the athletics department. But LSU...

    I was first on TKR to call for Hobbs to go. This was an out-of-consensus take at the time. Flashback: January 12, 2024 - Failing gymnastics coach's dodgy contract exposed by Fat Koko who sees a rotten situation nobody else does January 17, 2024 - "I’m not a fan of Hobbs’ coach-for-life...

    Does it make any sense to fire Schiano right now or wait until the end of the season? If you were AD, what is your plan?

    Rutgers needs to be careful how they go about Greg's firing. • Keli fired Coquese with ease, a simple without cause termination of a coach who wasn't performing. • Keli fired Hobbs' long-time #2 Michael Szul under different circumstances. Szul joined Rutgers in 2017, ran and mismanaged the...
