B1G Ramblings

[Stinger92860]

How will cost cutting affect coaching salaries and the size of a staff? I mean it will not matter to the SEC schools, but it’s impacting a B1G school. Can boosters donate to pay a 100% of coaching and administrative costs leaving additional revenue to pay the players? I assume the answer is yes and probably has been for a while. These are now professional franchises. I am becoming less interested in college sports by the week.

Nice way to spend the weekend/week. Sure beats taking bus trips for games against UConn, SJU, SHU and Nova. So the team gets beat by Oregon and then spends 3 days in Washington. Almost a week of travel for 2 games. Ugh. This is Steve Pikiell's 9th season and I don't see Rutgers being any more successful than its been. I remember reading about Rutgers recruiting class and these two seem to be lighting it up. Portal?

"To review: The Scarlet Knights took a six-hour flight to Oregon Friday, got throttled by the Ducks Sunday night, then boarded a bus for a five-hour late-night ride north to Seattle. After Wednesday’s game they will immediately fly home, arriving in Piscataway mid-morning Thursday."

The won the CR lottery. They cannot complain about anything. If they want to leave the B1G, I know an east coast school that would gladly replace them.

There's a superior team and better University that would glady take their spot and smile while going through that "problem".

This explains all of Rutgers’ conference and national championships.

You can't spell Rufus without "RU."

Rutgers is going do Rutgers things no matter to which conference they belong. In their case, no amount of money will change it. Others, however, would use such a conference affiliation to improve their athetics even more.

No question Rutgers landed the goldest of golden tickets. It still blows my mind it ended up not just P5, but Big Ten. I found this courtesy of another board's dumpster fire thread. Of course I feel bad for Pikiell but I just can't feel bad for ruttie.

"Unlike their first decade in the Big Ten, head coach Steve Pikiell’s program is no longer automatically qualified for the conference’s postseason tournament. With the league expanding to 18 teams, only the top 15 in the standings earn a spot in Indianapolis next month. In the first year with this barrier to entry into the Big Ten Tournament, the Scarlet Knights (12-14, 5-10) are in danger of missing it — and the only remaining path to the NCAA Tournament that comes with it. If Rutgers falls short of the conference tournament, its season is over."
