Only at Rutgers

That’s not what the other poster said

"The modern NIL push ignited in the late 2000s with O’Bannon v. NCAA. Ed O’Bannon, a former UCLA basketball star, sued in 2009 after seeing his likeness in an EA Sports video game without compensation. The 2014 district court ruling found the NCAA’s amateurism rules violated antitrust laws, allowing schools to offer full cost-of-attendance scholarships. The Ninth Circuit upheld this in 2015, and a $40 million settlement compensated players featured in games from 2003-2015. O’Bannon’s case cracked the amateurism facade, spotlighting how athletes’ NIL rights were exploited by everyone but themselves."

"The tipping point came with NCAA v. Alston in 2021. Though not directly about NIL, the Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling struck down NCAA caps on education-related benefits, with Justice Brett Kavanaugh lambasting amateurism as an antitrust dodge: “Nowhere else in America can businesses get away with agreeing not to pay their workers a fair market rate.” This rebuke, paired with state laws, pressured the NCAA to act. On June 30, 2021, it adopted an interim NIL policy, effective July 1, allowing athletes to monetize their NIL under state laws or school rules where no laws existed."

There's often unintended consequences. Like when you rush to fire a coach.

Or keep one too long.

Geo helped to ensure players like himself would stop being exploited. I applaud him and his great work. If anything he got screwed because the “Adults” have not figured out, or even made a valiant effort to put proper guard rails and rules in place.

100% this. The old rules were absolute ********. That the NCAA has completely failed to regulate NIL and allowed it to just become salaries for players is not the fault of Geo or anyone else that fought for NIL.

Hopefully we will see this turn a corner with the revenue sharing / auditing of true NIL arrangements.

As has been the case with most of the post-Tom Young coaches.

Every time someone points this out I am ever more shocked (SHOCKED I TELL YOU) that Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, and even Ohio State did better than we did at basketball.

This is some very hard hitting and important analysis and more people should be talking about it.

I stopped liking Hobbs when I saw him at the State Theatre for the 150 Anniversary of College Football show. He had bad shoes on with worn out heels. Looked like a hobo.

Wait. In regards to our 150 year anniversary, that's what you were mad at Hobbs about???

Not scheduling a football game didn't make your list?

I don’t understand the self flagellation on this board. To put this chart in perspective, 2018-19 Duke team had 4 NBA players, 14-15 Kentucky had 7, 13-14 Kansas had 4, 11-12 Kentucky had 6, 9-10 Kentucky had 7 and 06-07 Ohio State had 4. We will have 2 who played for us as 18 year olds and are both probably a year or two away from seeing significant game minutes in the NBA. I hope they sign massive contracts and give some back to Rutgers in the form of NIL. The pleasure some of you take in our failures (which admittedly are too numerous to count) is baffling, some of you actually want Pike gone with no AD, how does that make sense and explain to me who we would attract and how that would be better for the program?

I don't know whether the data in this post is true. I certainly can see the significance for some of those other teams.

regardless, the data from the OP still suggests this season was an unprecedented failure.

6 minutes is too long for some of you. The point again is to think reasonably first. Without an AD doing that it's dumber than dumb. Only dopey fans who always take the easy way react illogically.
