    Football Rutgers & Temple add home/home series

    The games in Philly serves a recruiting purpose, saves us the $s of having to pay to bring in an opponent while at the same time providing easy game day access for Rutgers fans, and also some players enjoy playing a game in a pro stadium.

    Pay for Play Now Legal, House Settlement Approved

    At the end of the day, Rutgers will always play by the rules while others don't. Those programs that play by the rules, whatever they may be, will always be at a disadvantage to schools that disregard the rules and are dedicated to winning at any cost.

    College sports have just been transformed

    Agree, the G6, Big 12, and ACC schools are in for a world of hurt. However, I do believe there will be a second tier of college football set up along the model of the Patriot League, which has recently added Villanova, Richmond, and William & Mary. They are not trying to compete in the new...

    Wrestling 2025 NCAA Tourney thread

    You are by far one of the most knowledgeable wrestling posters on this site, no doubt, and no slight meant, but you are also a Goodale apologist. To compare what Popolizio accomplished in his wrestling career to Goodale, please, just silly. Popolizio wrestled for John Smith at Oklahoma State...

    Wrestling 2025 NCAA Tourney thread

    EXACTLY. It all comes down to AAs and national champions. You ask a wrestler during the season what is the team's dual meet record and you are likely to get a blank look, but ask him about his individual record and his weight class, well that is another story.

    Wrestling 2025 NCAA Tourney thread

    Wrestling is all about coaching staffs, wrestlers are not football or basketball players, they march to their own beat. Yes, great facilities are nice, and NIL money always helps, but great wrestlers will put up with what we would consider disgusting and gross facilities if it means working...

    Wrestling 2025 NCAA Tourney thread

    I have been saying so for years Goodale is not the answer to take us to the next level. Resources are simply not the issue for why we should not be a top 15 program year after year. Yes, top 5, maybe even top 10, we do have a resource issue, but that is not the case comparing us to programs...

    Might RU be getting a commit today ?

    I didn't know they played HS football in Massachushitts.

    NIT

    "Kids", seriously? "Kids" don't play B1G basketball, professionals play B1G basketball. Some of these "kids" make more money playing B1G basketball than they would playing in the NBA G League or overseas. These "kids" don't want to play in minor bowls or lessor tournaments, it is all about...

    GAME 14 INDIANA: Disappointment

    There are no great teams in the B1G this year, they all have their flaws. There is no reason this team can't go on a nice little run and make the tournament. Way too early for all this type of handwringing, let's see where they are after the 10th conference game, something tells me these kinds...

    ACC isn’t a Power Conference - Officially a P3

    If we had stayed in the AAC we would likely be a routine participant in the CFP. Not advocating or stating a preference to be in the AAC, far from it, just stating a fact, that we would be in the running every year to make the CFP as an AAC member. And might I add, that would be without even...

    Lots of needless negativity here

    This is probably the most depressing thread of them all. Basically, the OP's argument is that Rutgers is such a loser program and always will be that we should just be grateful and pleased to go 7-6 and lose a nothing bowl game to a very flawed Big 12 team. The OP must moonlight on Schiano's...

    Football Rutgers Football collapses against Kansas State in wild Rate Bowl loss

    This game wouldn't have been close if we just had a new fieldhouse. I also blame the lack of NIL $s for our failure to stop their running game. At least we were competitive and that really is a testament to Coach Schiano and his brilliant in-game coaching decisions.

    OT: Phil Knight providing Oregon with unlimited NIL Resources

    That is because we don't have an elite fieldhouse.
