When you look at the conference tourney brackets, the math just isn’t there for many realistic scenarios where RU could be left out. So many bubble teams are lined up to play each other. The losers can not possibly pass RU in the pecking order. It would take an unprecedented number of non-contenders claiming bids in multiple bid conferences.

I dont disagree with your comment but I would still be shocked if RU creates an unscheduled large group meeting at this point.
With that said, last high school game on Sunday ends at 6PM which is the scheduled start of the selection show. How about mobbing the high school game and getting RU to put the selection show on the big screen. Support NJ High school basketball showing recruits what staying home would look like and watch the selection show together.
We make the tournament for the first time in 30 years only to have it canceled by a global pandemic. Very on brand.
Lol back at you.
It always mattered out there in the universe.
It’s just many of us saw other things worse and didn’t notice. Why is it so hard to acknowledge that the athletic department is in error here.
If the team is back here it should obviously be in the new practice building...it's their place a good way to show off the facility.
I like the idea too of showing it on the big screen on College Ave. Another good "look" to show off something new at Rutgers.
Also like the idea of it being shown on the scoreboard during the HS game(s). If it can be live, great. If not, during a timeout would look pretty cool too.
And as I have said already if only certain people will be allowed in the room to view...we know who that should be.

I doubt the basketball world gives it a second's thought. It may be you're projecting just a wee bit.
It's hard to recognize because there's nothing to recognize.
What you post makes a lot of sense, but that's not how things are trending unfortunately.
I don't understand why people are acting like The RAC is the only place that can hold a gathering of people. There are plenty of other places on campus to hold a good sized event (which they should want to do). Honestly, emailing Hobbs probably isn't the worst idea.
I know . And it terrifies me with all the talk of shutting down schools, no fans at NBA (or other events), mandated work from homes from nearly all large and small corporations. Its crazy what we are on the brink of. Essentially shutting the world down for 2-5 weeks ?! Unthinkable. And the damage will be significant if we did that.
And in my non-doctorated medical view, appears completely out of fear and an over reaction of precaution. I actually do think this is a product of the "liability" world we live in now. Where organizations don't want to be seen liable for putting people at risk for fear of the financial and social repercussions.
Other possible locations—The RWJ Barnabas Center, The Bubble, State Theatre, the baseball/softball indoor center, College Avenue Gym, Nicholas Center, Livingston Gym, Visitors Center, Cook or Douglass Rec Centers, Student Centers, Stadium Club, Werblin Center
i literally came to the board today to see if someone had started a thread on this. I would happily come down from NYC to share in the joy of seeing us pop up on a screen as the 8/9 seed if RU holds something, and I think they should 1000 percent do it. and WHEN the team is in indy on sunday (as someone alluded to in this thread), it will be even cooler haha. who am i kidding, lets get thru michigan first.
How about if we give out Sam Adams? Shiner ? Lone Star ? Karbach? Yellow Rose ? Bud ? Coors ?
This is what was said during the tours of the APC last month.
Even showed the room where they will gather.
I think Sunday is all public schools. Cliff plays for Roselle Catholic
Exactly. The idea that an entire weekend of building the brand among high school athletes and coaches so that we can have the RAC all to ourselves for two hours is silly. There are plenty of other places on campus where we can (and no doubt will) happily watch the tourny selections. The Barn, the Yard, Livingston gym, the Audi Club, and probably a few others I'm unaware of. How cool would it be if on the day the top high school teams are playing on campus, we are selected for our first tourny in 29 years? Let the branding continue, and let the complaining diminish.
then it is a huge FU to the fanbase by Hobbs...sorry he needs to get dragged for this
Well in that case, you can be sure Hollywood is going to only invite folks that sit in black seats.
