So Schiano ends up as Rutgers head coach.

Thing I found odd is Rutgers won’t commit to renovations, improvements unless Schaino secures 50% of the money needed.

That’s one good reason to get rid of the current administration. These guys just don’t get it. That’s why they will be getting paid by the B1G. So that they are able to make upgrades. If you spend it all on new libraries or on the science dept., you’ll never get anything done. Football and basketball will pay the bills. Upgrade your small college football field and arenas first or you will forever be playing catch-up. They’ve got to do something to lure in football and basketball talent with facilities that compete with other programs.

Nothing is getting replaced in conference if Rutgers improves. There are only so many wins available. If they rise up somebody has to slip back and take an L for Rutger's W

Rutgers can start going 3-0 in the OOC instead of 1-2.

SEC is considered great because they clean up in the OOC, not because the entire conference goes .500 in conference every year.

You don't think those guys understand their own budget better than you do?

Rutgers has been running a huge deficit in the AD forever. They still are, and don't get a full B1G payout yet. They're trying to somewhat balance the books while building facilities. There isn't a never ending supply of money.

I believe they will start getting a full share next year. They have already been getting a partial share as it is. When the next television deal gets signed, everyone will get even more. I guarantee you, as subscribers, we will be paying higher subscription fees too. Do you think it’s fair that Schiano is the one who has to help raise $50 million dollars? Isn’t that supposed to be the AD’s job anyway. Hell, they might as well make him the AD while they’re at it.

It will take a guy like Schiano to turn Rutgers around similar to what Hayden did here at Iowa. Hayden had to threaten to quit just to get a practice bubble and to get other projects going. Schiano turned them down initially until he got a commitment from the administration to give him the tools to succeed. It wasn’t just about his contract.

Rutgers needs to energize their fan base. I know it would cost them some money but they should consider going independent to play an easier schedule. Having an empty stadium because of a killer conference schedule is costing them more in the big picture.

Does Rutgers even have a fanbase? I mean I’ve never actually met a Rutgers fan before. Met Rutgers alums, just not fans.
 
You guys must have some short memories? I remember watching this game on television back in the day, Schiano was the hottest name in coaching for a couple years after this.


A couple weeks earlier there was a classic game between Louisville and West Virginia with Petrino and Rich Rod and Brohm and Pat White and some great running backs and rosters with tons of NFL talent. They need to bring back Big East football I guess.
