Making $2.5 mill a year at IMG haha. But the guy LOVES rutgers. Its been said the only thing hed leave IMG for would be to be RU’s AD again
For once - maybe we should go with an AD hire that has relevant D1A experience instead of always hiring a political guy, or a first timer from out of nowhere.
Hiring Pernetti is worse than hiring Addazio.
I’d be cool putting him back in the radio booth with Carlin. Outside that, no thanks.
No, you’re wrong. Hiring the wrong football coach is much worse than hiring the wrong AD at this time.
Love Tim, known him since our days OTB, but not sure this is for him.
i got mixed feelings on this one... over all though i think Pernetti was a good AD.. so i guess i lean a little to the side of bringing him back because he puts football first... and football being the biggest sport in america, have a good team? making money
I ran into Tim Pernetti 2-3 yrs ago in South bend at an ND game. He was running a pro soccer team of all things. He is a solid guy and great leader. I would love or have him back!
This message board is like a strange vortex. The guy who was completely unqualified to be an AD, who nearly ruined both football and basketball programs by his wildly incompetent decisions, is widely loved and seen only as a victim.
People who have done their job well, and been nothing but good for Rutgers, are hated.

No. Worst AD ever at RU. Hired the known loose cannon Rice and failed to fire him when he should have, leading to one of the most embarrassing scandals in RU's history, then hired Flood, who started the decimation of everything that Greg built. Gets minor credit for being here when the B1G invite came, but that was in the works for many years.
especially if he takes the place of Ray Lucas. He’s unlistenable.
TP hired flood who was 9-4 and won a share of the conf when he was still The AD. Anything that happens once he was gone is not on him.
Rice was considered a good hire. He was fired for inappropriate behavior based on the tapes from 2010 and 2011. K-Mac was responsible for basketball and never told TP anything.
He fully funded wrestling and pushed for SKWC.
Hired Brecht
Increased funding in both soccer programs
Led the $100M athletics fundraising campaign, that endowed more scholarships than ever before
Reduced the subsidy
Secured the first ever exclusive apparel deal with Nike netting athletics $5m
pretty sure he did a good job.

Lmfao Pernetti was a failure here. Clueless to alot of things
He totally ****** up the Rice video thing. That anyone would claim he did a great job isnt being honest
Tim is doing well at Endeavor (formerly IMG). He totally got screwed at RU - gave the recommended punishment and if it wasn’t for assbags like Jay Bilas on his soapbox, he would still be here and so would GS. I guess Jay Bilas ignored all the crap that Roy Williams and Bill Self did because UNC and Kansas have swag and RU does not.
Thanks for playing Tim - perhaps the worst analysis of Pernetti's failed tenure at RU ever written.
for all those naysayers Pernetti did GREAT after leaving RU -he was respected by those that spend $ on good people (bac is wrong as usual about successful people) and easily got key leadership jobs, one with the Yankees soccer club and then as the leader of IMG, made tons after the merger with Learfield and guess what ..if he could Schiano would hire him back as RU's AD
