As has been discussed many times, dropping this series would be a big loss for the fans, but RU is very replaceable for the team.
Adding UConn to our schedule added two high D1 games making us less interested in this game long term. Getting the gate is key as well because we don’t have the money a state program has. I’m fine with it.
Solution to me would be play game at RAC and split the revenue so as to help SHU with the lost
revenue from not playing last year
To me, that sounds like a solution that would leave both sides unsatisfied. And how does half revenue from a crowd of 8k come anywhere close to replacing full revenue from a crowd of 10k+?
We also know about RU's extreme efforts to prevent SHU fans from getting tickets, so SHU accepting that would be a slap in the face to fans.
Also we all know Rutgers complete avoidance of playing decent teams in the road, and really playing any type of good team out of conference.
I don’t think there is fear on either side.Believe me RU is not afraid of SHU
It is really SHU fear of the RAC
It wasn’t RUs fault that pandemic happened when SHU had the home game .
Why not play at MSG and split gate .

Actually your game at Penn State claimed the contracted date and not a conference game.And then where do you propose they play next year? We're just going to have this same debate again if this year is played at a neutral site.
It wasn't SHU's fault that the pandemic happened and the resulting conference rescheduling claimed their contracted date. I'm sure it was partially their fault that a new date wasn't mutually agreed upon but I'm also sure there was blame to go both ways on that.

offers their season ticket holders in football and basketball the opportunity to purchase extra tickets for games before they go on sale to the general public. It is a perk of being an RU season ticket holder. It is not a means to prevent SHU fans from getting tickets.
False. The contracted date was December 13th. We played at Penn State on December 6th.Actually your game at Penn State claimed the contracted date and not a conference game.
It also doesn’t help that the RAC is a smaller venue. Rutgers fans can easily get their hands on tickets in the Prudential center because we have more space. Last year I had to pay an insane amount of money to basically sit in some bleachers. That arena needs an upgrade.Last time you hosted, single game tickets were made publicly available for every game on RU's schedule except the SHU game, which were still available but held back for sth presales the entire time.

You have one team that year in and year out plays a weak OOC schedule. The coach complains any time they are put against a decent team on the road in the ACC/ big ten challenge. You have another team that has played a consistently tough schedule OOC and plays teams on the road without an issue, high major teams at that.Believe me RU is not afraid of SHU
It is really SHU fear of the RAC
Weird how Kentucky-Louisville, Florida-FSU, Nebraska-Creighton, Xavier-Cincinnati, Iowa State-Iowa, St. Joe's-Villanova, and Wisconsin-Marquette all managed to get played last year. Carino didn't bring any of those up, of course. Only the one other example (Rhode Island-Providence) that didn't get played.

All true. It’s the fans that need the gameHonestly who cares? Ru plays 20 BigTen games, and we play 20 BigEast games + legit OOC schedule. Neither team needs the series.
The pandemic was not Seton Hall’s fault either. Pickle chips had no interest in doing what was fair and equitable to all sides (either pause a year and resume at Seton Hall the following year or play at a neutral site and again resume at Seton Hall the following year). What he fails to realize is he’s little brother and needs this game more than we ever will. It’s their NCAA championship game. Always has been, always will be. Seton Hall can and should tell him to kiss off. We can fill that spot with a much better game.It wasn’t RUs fault that pandemic happened when SHU had the home game .

No D1 school fears playing in your glorified high school gym.Believe me RU is not afraid of SHU

Pickle chips has fear. That was evident last year when he refused a neutral site game and/or pausing the game for a year.I don’t think there is fear on either side.
RU needs the game more than we do from a scheduling perspective. They need to have at least one high D1 local OOC game to insert in between all the pushovers they like to schedule. Seton Hall would take the game if it didn't cost us money because we need the gate as we are not propped up by ridiculous student fees (https://www.app.com/story/sports/co...sidy-athletics-one-highest-nation/3506918002/ ) and the state of NJ.Honestly who cares? Ru plays 20 BigTen games, and we play 20 BigEast games + legit OOC schedule. Neither team needs the series.
Plus they are getting Big 10 money. Tough to make a case that they are in need.RU gets to take advantage of the NJ taxpayers every year and even gets bailed out if necessary
Absurd that they are complaining about this over the gate money and needing home court advantage versus a small private school that funds itself
RU should do the right thing and just go to Prudential
That’s my point. It’s a fun game for the fans but it’s not important enough to either side to bend over backwards for one another. Neither team is good enough to warrant this type aggravation.I like the game, but its not worth all this nonsense.
I am fast losing interest. Given the 20 game league schedule, more interested in getting different teams to Nwk, or playing at a major away arena.I like the game, but its not worth all this nonsense.
Um, if RU really needed the Seton Hall game wouldn't they just do whatever Seton Hall wanted and play the games?I am fine with not playing it at all. When RU teams were atrocious the Hall game was like their National Championship. That is why they want and need the Hall game. They are concerned that they will be awful again soon and will need this game.
I’ll add
