Rutgers Scarlet Knights (official troll of PedSU)

Watched the game vs Howard
Stink today is that Howard coach upset with Rutgers scoring at end
Mixed feelings
Howard had just run a series and called TWO time outs.. then turned over the ball on downs with :15 left on their 31.. instead of letting the clock run out
Rutgers still has their 2nd string QB in and inserts the 3rd string freshman RB from Canada
Schiano calls for a plain Jane run right into the middle
3 Howard tacklers hit him but no one wraps up and the kid scores

Take a knee or reward a kid who has worked his butt off all spring and pre-season?

Big Ten is giving them $70M/year now for nothing and they’ve managed to be a half billion in the hole since joining.



That sentiment remains true, with Rutgers’ latest athletics financial report showing its deficit topped $70 million for the third time in five years in 2024-25 after the state university spent a record $193.8 million, documents show.

The report shows $146.6 million in total operating revenues, thanks to a record $61.3 million from the Big Ten for its media rights and $10.7 million from the conference as its share of the league’s Football Bowl revenue fund.

It brings Rutgers’ athletics deficit to $516.9 million since joining the Big Ten in 2014-15.

THE reason Rutgers is in the B1G is .. it brings the #1 metro TV market (NYC/Tri-State) on the planet.. THE money maker...
similarly the reason MD is in.. is the #3 metro TV market DC-Balt
The revenue these TV markets provides to B1G is immense.. they actually should get a higher % of TV rev than they do

Plus they help the academic scores of the B1G

I wonder how that is going to go as the cable model keeps shrinking. It was huge when they joined, everyone with cable in those areas got BTN in a base package even if they didn’t watch games. Even direct tv has gone to streaming. The network is adapting well and is in most low level packages, but the benefit of the Rutgers and Maryland tv markets will only decline over the years.
