    Heading to the RAC from Manhattan?

    @RutgersRutgersRutgers3x I did this commute for 10 years while living in Manhattan, and missed fewer than 10 RAC / home games in that time. I just moved to Jersey City (no car), which doesn't change the commute much (PATH to Newark to get the same train I would have from NYP). Let me start by...

    Pikes Has A Plan-Interview with Carino

    Unsure if sarcasm, but Pikes is his nickname... not Pike.

    DJ Carstensen

    There are plenty of refs that are issues, but Top 50 referees in the Big Ten rotation like DJ are not the ones to complain about. In fact, Rutgers is 13-12 in its last 25 games reffed by Carstensen (from the start of the 2019-2020 season through yesterday). He's usually the kind of guy you...

    Rutgers rapidly is losing ground in the NIL battle with other Big Ten schools, and critics — including people on the inside — believe the Scarlet…

    No offense taken, @onesimus. The AD should be the one communicating with top donors, with the collective as an infrastructure selling point. That's primarily the driver re: NIL messaging alignment.

    KnightFest @ the Barn Friday Night

    I was in my high school years (circa 2004-2006). I'll stick to Twitter!

    KnightFest @ the Barn Friday Night

    Better atmosphere for this first of its kind event. Plus, more people hang out on College Ave on Homecoming Friday, especially students (which this event caters to). I imagine it will be at the RAC in the future.

    KnightFest @ the Barn Friday Night

    @Geo_Baker_1 to advise on any parking he's arranged with Rutgers! The lot behind the Barn still exists, but it's scaled down for construction.

    Bruce Johnson not doing well

    Bruce still follows Rutgers hoops closely, and we had a detailed conversation about the past and upcoming seasons at his son's wedding in April. In fact, when I called him Sunday evening to see how his recovery was progressing at home, many of his questions were about the 2023-2024 rotation. A...

    Bruce Johnson not doing well

    Per his son Brian, Bruce is home from the hospital and recovering. It was touch-and-go for a few days, and he's got more ahead of him, but this is great news.

    Not keeping NIL Promises: (Update: Debunked by Danny)

    @snowboarder I'm pretty sure he meant @wkbrdr3448.

    Not keeping NIL Promises: (Update: Debunked by Danny)

    It's a fair question, @RepeatedCrown6. First of all, let me assure you that having money available for equity in deals by sport / gender does not change the absolute value amount that a Cam Spencer type requires. It would not have changed the math. We believe that getting every sport involved is...

    Basketball Pike hires Marlon Williamson as assistant coach

    He was not. Brett turned down two D1 head coach jobs -- which were publicly reported (Army & New Hampshire).

    Not keeping NIL Promises: (Update: Debunked by Danny)

    @Greene Rice FIG Not sure what you're getting at here? We have monthly memberships and churn assumptions... plus one-time contributions. The collective manages those funds through an All Sports bucket that the executive committee oversees and sport-specific buckets administered by the programs...
