Rutgers RB Blackshear Shuts It Down

Can’t say I blame the kid if his QB did the same thing but things are getting whacky.  He’s going to redshirt and evaluate.

Well, his coach was fired and so was his OC. Then they promoted basically a high school coach to be the head coach. 

Id say Rutgers quit on this kid. 

He sits out this year, and maybe RU hires Schiano or Moorehead and he stays. Or maybe they make their typical shit hire and the kid transfers.

Did you say the same thing when coaches started collecting $5M salaries?  $6M?  $7M?  $8M?  $9M?  

That’s when college athletics became more about business.  
 

Coaches collect multi-million dollar salaries and have freedom of movement, but the kid is supposed to suck it up and sit out a year. 
 

Fuck that.

This is a weird trend imo. People can say, "These guys have got to look out for themselves," which is true to an extent, but what if an entire offensive line decides they're going to stop playing?

Does anyone think Rutgers may become more competitive once they start receiving a full B10 share? They were supposed receive a full share in 2021 but it seems it has been pushed to 2027.
