We will see. Patience is required. No one wants to hear it but we don't have a Mark Cuban and the last AD didn't do anything for NIL. Worse, he was against it while other schools were going full force into it.
Building Scarlet Knight Enterprises is not window dressing. Getting someone like Oliver Luck to Chair is not window dressing. A number of people moves she's made have not been window dressing.
You are looking at it from a bare minimum perspective, which if you listened to Tate, that's not his expectations. If you talk to her, that's not hers either. To win, you need money. That takes time at Rutgers because we've never had it. Another way to look it for real job security? Turn the dept. around financially and on the courts and fields. Job security? That's real job security in that business.
Outside of Pernetti, no other former AD has moved into any position even close being a P5AD. Job security in that business, especially at Rutgers, isn't status quo. It's winning and making the dept financially sound. She does that, she won't be the Rutgers AD very long.
It really is mostly that. Everyone gets to spend the $15.6M but then you have Texas and it’s $30M and Oregon and it’s $27.8M and the top SEC and B1G schools spending >$20M and you realize how far below par RU is. Even if a player like Duff or someone else has a spectacular damn near Heisman season, an Ohio state or A&M or Michigan can money whip them to their team…and if someone offered you that kind of $$ at that age you’d take it too in a blur!
