Move on from focusing on this people. It is what it is. Enjoy the game and be loud.
Why is no one trying to get them into the game. Get excited you think it would help the experience

Incredibly classless to be at a game as the guests of Rutgers and not root for the home team. ********!
I could be wrong - but I thought that was the families of the senior basketball, cheer, managers, etc. - ie NOT football recruits.
Am I wrong?

Some fans here will always find something to complain about. So 50 prime seats were given to HS football recruits. That is 50 out of 8200.
Yet you would think the world is coming to an end because they wouldn't cheer.
Much ado about nothing.

My bigger gripe is that they block off 5-10 more rows than they really need. Feel bad for the students who would have loved to be there today but couldn’t get a seat.
Of all the things to complain about ...
Carino (and now some in this thread) had to back track after RU commented)
@Luvscarletknights students were not kept from attending per Carino

This is the issue....you keep students from attending. Maybe put students on bottom and move recruits/parents towards the top portion.
some of you should watch the game instead of section 110.
No students were denied access per Jerry Carino. You guys need to stop with this nonsense already. And someone at the game posted in a different thread that football had about 60 people the rest of the seats were for parents of senior cheerleaders, band, etc.
It never dawned on me that they would have Senior Day for the other groups but they are all important parts of the overall experience. Now taking that into account plus the fact that all students were allowed in this thread should be locked.
We look during timeouts and when you watch the game you can see people on the court side sitting on their hands is frustrating.
It is also BS that students were not denied admission. They simply reduce the amount available. My son is a freshman and they ran out of tickets but luckily I had 3.

It was both. The section wasn't just blocked off for football recruits. It was also for those like you said. So yell at the parents in that section as well for not cheering. Most probably didn't even know what the hell they were watching and were just there supporting their kid.
Had to miss this years but I know in past basketball Letterwinners days they also bumped us to the back of that section so they could block a bunch of rows for football recruits. Was surprised they wouldn’t have the basketball guys up front.
What were you going to do with the extra if he got in the student section?
Imagine being a 4 star recruit invited to a basketball game only to be stuck in the worst seats in the house.
The #1 recruit in NJ Bisontis really enjoyed his time at the RAC today
Hobbs put 399 more fans than he was supposed to. Rutgers students weren't denied their normal allotmennt. You owe Hobbs an apology.
Also this:
LOL. So predictable.
And as Carino tweeted--they all got in.
EDIT- Oh, and this is what feeble looks like? Will take it!!!

It's great and critical that we have this asset to aid in our football recruiting.
The rest of the seats were for family members of the cheerleaders, dance team, band, etc. who were also seniors or do they not count to you?
The attendance was 8300 which means 300 additional fans were in attendance .I don't see the problem and yes football will always drive the bus.
Why can’t the recruits AT LEAST sit at the top of the section ?? And have students get the closer seats ?!
visually would be way better ! Plus the recruits get to walk by the entire student section and have sight on it all to really get a feel for the vibe. Instead their direct sight of fans is the 100s.
I’d bet we could secure more interest by putting them in the back of the section and strategically placing some of our coeds in front of them in their line of sight. (Things SEC programs do)

Definitely. The recruits should be put in the nosebleed section, given a watered down drink and a hotdog on a soggy roll, and then completely ignored.
When you fund the RAC expansion it will be, so get your hat out and fill it up quickly.
There were two recruits that stood out to me. There was one I think in the first/second in the middle of the row in a Rutgers sweatshirt that was really into the game. He was cheering and waving his pom-pom all game.Does anyone know who he was? There was also a kid about a row behind him that was also into the game otherwise I really didn't see much enthusiasm.
I'm in the camp where Schiano gets whatever he wants. That said, maybe compromise and let students take the first 15-20 rows. Then the recruits are more immersed by the insanity which is supposed to be the point of why they are there.
oh come on man. It’s like another 20 rows up. It doesn’t look great on TV. Plus those are the seats right in front of the visitors bench.
no football recruit is going to know the difference or care one tiny bit .
i think they would be able to soak in the experience a lot more from the vantage point overseeing the student section from the top 12 rows instead of the bottom
The students seem to understand the what is going on and have the right attitude:
I think it is absurd. Schiano is living off our men's basketball team's success. Our students should be in those seats. When our basketball recruits attend a football game we usually get clobbered. Football must start showing major improvement and carry their own weight. We were only 2-7 in BIG 10 football games this past season and never even got beyond the 50 yard line against Penn State. We got beaten to a pulp by Maryland with a bowl game on the line. Ohio State lost 52-13, Michigan State Lost 31-13, Northwestern Lost 21-7, Wisconsin Lost 52-3, Penn State Lost 28-0, Maryland Lost 40-16 and Wake Forest we lost 38-10. On top of that we just lost our top recruiter in Coach Brown. This is totally embarrassing. We are a basketball school.
