Rutgers $200 mil shortfall

[Unregistered]

What is your “real” issue regarding Rutgers and PDA? There is nothing inappropriate because of “free will” of potential student/athletes. Major universities all over the country have assistant coaches who also play prominent roles at some of the best clubs. The need/want those jobs to supplement there incomes. If they happen to be a “feeder” for a college what is your issue? Players/students have the free will/choice to make there own decisions about where they want to be a student/athlete in college. What is inappropriate about that? Go look at the list of PDA players who are going to play at other P5 Conference schools. Plenty of players chose to go elsewhere. In every sport coaches always try to keep there “homegrown” talent in State. Nothing wrong or inappropriate about that. Good for Rutgers for keeping homegrown kids in State.

It did wonders for the Women’s program as they were bounced by powerhouse Central Conn. in first round of playoffs this year.

Yes Im sure Steve Pikell and Greg Schiano are running HS aged academy programs! NCAA would never allow it as these are revenue sports. So you see my point....women’s soccer gets a pass even though they are bending/breaking the rules.

Sorry but I still don’t see your point nor do I not understand what your issue really is with college coaches who also coach at clubs. Are they not allowed to make a living? Clubs welcome these college coaches and if players want to play at these colleges so what?! It’s free will and free choices. That is not inappropriate or wrong. What coaches do in there free time at club teams has nothing to do with the revenue at a college. My kids club team has played many games at Rutgers campus, is that wrong? The PDA Showcase is played on the Rutgers campus is that wrong as well. The vast majority of coaches supplement there income by having clinics/camps on campus at there universities. Is that a conflict?

I’m at PDA and if you don’t see a conflict of interest from the D1 standpoint I don’t know what to tell you. It’s definitely give Rutgers an advantage vs other NJ D1 schools.

What is wrong with having an advantage? Nowhere is it written or said if you play at PDA that you have to play at RUTGERS. What is your issue with free will and free choice. Why is it a conflict? In fact I know players who went to PDA with the purpose to being recruited by Rutgers and it didn’t work out. Plenty of PDA kids play for other NJ colleges. Has PDA ever stopped schools like Monmouth, Farleigh Dickinson, Seton Hall etc. from recruiting PDA players or coming to there showcase tournaments? What is the conflict?

Nothing wrong with having an advantage at long as that same opportunity is made available to others too. I’ve heard PDA does not allow girls to attend other schools id camps, is this true?? If so tells you all you need to know about the shenanigans going on there. A player wants to go to a B1G competitor school...you don’t think the powers that be will look to influence and affect that player not to go there??? Talk about not looking out for your players best interest.

I heard kids that play or are recruited by other Big10 programs go to different clubs because of the PDA issues that arise.

They have no choice that’s how biased the treatment is.....

My niece played at Rutgers a few years ago when they made it to the finals. She was treated like royalty. Trips on private buses with steak dinners in NYC, private flights to finals, you name it, she did it, and she dressed for one game and never even stepped foot on the pitch for a game. They can make significant cuts to their teams and still be ok

Agreed, I think programs on the whole are going to be a little more discriminating when it comes to handing out $ and you hit on a rarely discussed topic. People think walk-ons and voucher kids don't cost anything, but they do...especially with big travel conferences. 6-8 extra flights, extra meal allowance, extra swag & gear starts to add up. I know it doesn't seem like much, but you're talking thousands of dollars a season for practice cones. Programs are going to have to trim the fat and the last place they want to trim is scholarship $$$ for difference makers.

If your children are good enough and can play for clubs with great exposure. You wouldn't be whining about the "unfairness".

If you have a deep pocket and can afford paying overpriced programs with good exposure, you wouldn't be whining about the "unfairness".

Competitive soccer clubs are for-profit organizations. They'll love you if either you're a shining star with talent or a shining star with $$$. Ideally both.

And one club has a state monopoly. It’s illegal
