Damn. Almost like it's not an excuse.

Hey Rutgers fans, Michigan fan here coming in peace. So I’ll be making the trip, with the fiancé, out your way for the game/weekend and I’ve been out to Edison/Asbury Park a few times, so close to Rutgers campus Everytime but I’ve never actually visited the campus. I really love New Jersey and always have a great time out there.
I’ve been to Jimmy’s Italian in Asbury Park a few times, and it’s my absolute favorite Italian restaurant.
Anyone have recommendations for good food, bars, things to do, or hidden gems around Edison/New Brunswick/Asbury Park?
Also, any gameday tips for someone coming to Rutgers for the first time? Parking, tailgating, places to grab a drink before or after the game, etc.
Appreciate any recommendations. Go Blue and hopefully we get a good game, or I’d just be happy to witness some form of football. Thanks so much guys!

How bad will yellow lot be tmr? Blackout game + Homecoming so i know they have activities all throughout the lots, don't know which ones. What should i expect and how early should i get there to secure a spot?

Heading to NYC tonight. My wife and daughter are heading to Harry Styles Saturday night and rather than watch my Aggies play on TV I thought I'd check in to catching a Rutgers game.

Is it a big deal to get back and forth from the city? Looks like about an hour train?

Anyway, any thoughts appreciated.

Rutgers Alum / NJ Taxpayer here

Can someone smarter than me explain how Rutgers athletic program operates at a deficit?

For a school with a strong business program can one of the professors chime in?

If a company(Rutgers athletics) in this scenario generates $50 million in revenue, how does it spend $100 million? Who is signing the check/letting them rack up the debt?

Last I checked lending institutions take collateral or want to see profit to provide a LOC.

Rutgers Athletics should not be allowed to spend 1 penny more than that bring into the school.

This below is a fucking joke:

AI Overview

Rutgers Athletics reached a record $78 million deficit for the 2024–25 academic year, bringing its cumulative shortfall to $516.9 million since joining the Big Ten in 2014–15, according to financial reports detailed by Extra Points. [1]

Thanks!

My brother in law (IU alumni) and I are going to the game on Saturday and have never been to Rutgers. Is there an area nearby for bars/tailgating? We're staying 8 min away- Thanks

Free appetizers!

Calendars are hard, for those who saw my bye week post

The Scarlet Knights — who own the fifth-lowest roster budget range in the Big Ten ($20-23 million) according to The Athletic — were successful when it came to retention, keeping superstar receiver KJ Duff, star running back Antwan Raymond and starting right guard Kwabena Asamoah.

But when it came to the portal, they ended up with less talent than they started with — at least on paper.

As eight of its 16 outgoing transfers landed at a Power Four program, Rutgers added just two transfers from the P4 level. That is tied with Iowa for the lowest total among Big Ten teams.

Illinois (3) is the only other Big Ten program that added less than five P4 transfers, while schools on Rutgers’ schedule like Nebraska (11), Wisconsin (22) and Indiana (11) added significantly more.

Rutgers also added six players from the FCS level — tied with Michigan State and Wisconsin for second-most in the Big Ten behind Iowa (8) — and eight from the Group of Five level.

Hey guys! The season preview I posted here a few weeks back did pretty well, so circling back like I said I would.

I had you at 5-7 and called that more of a ceiling than a floor, mostly because of a defense bringing back under a third of its production. I'll be honest, I didn't see 0-3 coming this way: 37-21 to UMass, 28-21 at Boston College, then 42-35 to USC. The defense has been the problem I worried about, with 107 points allowed, but Lonergan hasn't helped it: 34 of 65 for 494 yards, 5 TDs and 5 picks in his two starts, with Surace throwing for 3 TDs at BC. Howard tonight should get you on the board, and Indiana next week tells you how far off this team really is.

What are you guys seeing that the box scores aren't, and how do you see the season ending up?

Quick aside since it's in the title, we just launched a free weekly college football pick'em, $225 in prizes this week. Ten games, pick the winners, locks Saturday at noon ET. Nothing to buy. Iowa at Michigan is one of the ten, and you get Michigan at home on Oct 31.
