    Pikiell Podcast - Summer Edition

    Miteo needs a visa too. To get that, Miteo would go to Kinshasa, make an appointment at the US embassy, and pass an interview with a consular officer who has enormous discretion over the decision. And do it all during a reorganization of US visa services across Africa launched a few days ago...

    Pikiell Podcast - Summer Edition

    Good question. Nobody knows how old Miteo is. Miteo's Rutgers bio lists his birthdate as December 13, 2008. That would make Miteo 17. A FIBA bio says he was born on July 25, 2008, making Miteo 18. Another FIBA bio lists Miteo at 21 years old. Will be interesting to see how Rutgers handles...

    Season Ticket Streak - Keep Going or Let Expire?

    Includes single game tickets and season tickets. Excludes amounts received above face value for tickets such as a seat fee. The numbers are for fiscal 2025 which includes the 2024 football season. Indiana's ticket sales revenue almost certainly increased in the 2025 season but those figures...

    Season Ticket Streak - Keep Going or Let Expire?

    Here are tix sales. Greg 2.0 can't beat Flood and Ash. Why pay for season tix for Greg 2.0 teams when tix can be had on game day for a fraction of the cost and a minimum of fuss.

    Season Ticket Streak - Keep Going or Let Expire?

    Let it expire. Buy tickets a la carte rather than pay a premium for season tickets. Simpler, cheaper, and no need to worry about offloading tickets you won't use. Last season, I bought a ticket to the Oregon game a few hours before kick off using SeatGeek. $46.85 including fee for section...

    OT: Penn State Fans Push Back on Steep 2027 Ticket Price Hikes

    I would argue academic reputation is better marketing for state universities than academics. Alabama has won six national football championships since 2004, more than any other school. During this time, the school's academic ranking has nosedived. The situation is so bad there, Alabama fell...

    OT: We may win the World Cup in 2026

    Interesting debate. If Messi was from Miami or Ronaldo was from Ironbound, the outcome might have been the same - sign with top European clubs as early teenager. Case in point - Timothy Weah. Played youth soccer in south Florida and Queens, trial with Chelsea at 13, signed with PSG at 14, pro...

    OT: We may win the World Cup in 2026

    How about gymnastics. Competitions in Florida starting around age 8, always in winter. Really just a long weekend at the beach for the moms. This is not affordable to most Americans. The irony is the best gymnast of all time Simone Biles grew up in foster care before relatives adopted her...

    OT: Penn State Fans Push Back on Steep 2027 Ticket Price Hikes

    Time will tell. Rutgers issued a press release in 2008 stating the same thing about the Rutgers stadium expansion. "The expansion project is self-supporting. No public money will be used to fund the expansion and the project will have no impact on tuition or academic programs." That same...

    OT: Penn State Fans Push Back on Steep 2027 Ticket Price Hikes

    Penn State needs the money to pay for the stadium renovation. Penn State's athletic director and the university's chief financial officer told their Board of Trustees the $700 million stadium renovation would be funded by the athletic department. "The renovation will be financed and paid for...

    Why Did Rutgers Have to Rutgers?

    Yes, like Rutgers, Ohio State has a Newark campus. https://newark.osu.edu/ Rutgers is in better shape than peer systems. Penn State has 20 campuses and is closing seven of them next year. SUNY has dozens of campuses, faces a similar rural demographic problem as Pennsylvania, and should close...

    Why Did Rutgers Have to Rutgers?

    That explains why I got my *** kicked in the NAPS gym. This was pre 9/11 and my friend and I would use his dad's old military ID to get on the base and the gym had no AC so doors were always left open to get some fresh air inside.

    Why Did Rutgers Have to Rutgers?

    One overlooked factor driving the make up of the Rutgers student demographics is community college transfers. Rutgers does not publish statistics on this but UCLA - the top ranked public school in the B1G - provides details on applicants from community colleges. Last year, UCLA admitted...
