Oh Rutgers...

[BlueMAB]

for all their faults - our AD and Foundation would long for "The Rutgers University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics today announced a record-setting $30.3 million dollars in new gifts and pledges for fiscal year 2016, an 111% increase from the prior year and an 80.5% increase over the previous best of $16.8 million in 2010. The level of giving was bolstered by a record-high 9,233 donors."

Thanks for sharing, how much did Shabazz, Lamb, Ray, and Rip donate?

Weird. You really have to watch these guys.

*Wet blanket alert*

Can't we have one thread making fun of Rutgers or Louisville or whoever without someone chiming in with the "but they're still in a better position than us!!!" comment? We all know what position UConn is in. Just let people have occasional fun at other schools' expenses, especially when it's warranted.

I'd rather be king of a crappy conference than the Rutgers of any conference. They are more of a punchline than an athletic program.

Apparently not. But I can put these douchenozzles on my list.

It would be great if MAL jokingly tweeted out he was attending RU on his Twitter.

That is just plain sick. Which is why I had to give it a like.

Didn't even realize til now that Drummond and lamb are on there too...

Espn has the story on their feed now, and digging into Rutgers, saying they have less history than Florida Gulf Coast haha

These people have no shame

Tweet proves RutgersAl is the norm down there, not the anomaly.

I hope pikiell had no clue about this . What a bizarre approach by a "P5" school

 

[Mots010]

Can someone replace the Uconn players with cable boxes?

 

[Kolumbo]

this is the absolute worst...nevermind.

ESPN jab seems to imply Pikiell was behind the story... find that hard to believe. But I particularly like the last line...

"As desperate as a team might be to re-position its future by recreating its past, it’s best to stay in your own lane. Even if it’s the slow lane."

 

[Tampahusky]

The worse marketing by any school. Imagine if UConn took credit for Diaco's former ND football players. #crazy

 

[freescooter]

They can move into the Big but Rutgers will always be Rutgers. Unbelievable.

But look at it this way. Good thing they didn't hire one of Pitino's assistants or they would be tweeting pics of whores saying $5.00

You are what you are. They've always been losers, a new conference won't change that. They won the realignment sweepstakes. Let us know when you get a trophy for that.

 

[Rocktheworld]

Incredible that this made it through an entire marketing/social media department without being shut down. There is not a single part of the Rutgers administration that is not an embarrassment.

Hey, Zags reads the Boneyard. I better be careful next time I cut and paste something from his articles.
