Jerry on the game

Interesting take by Carino. Didn’t do his regular type article. Just called everyone and everything out. By no showing the fans are sending SHU leadership the message they hopefully are hearing.
 
We don’t have a Repole but the Revenue Share situation should help. Then it’s a question how Felt/Lyons are going to manage that in terms of:

* What share of revenue goes to Men’s Basketball (it should be substantial piece of what we can share)
* How can we raise new revenue sources
* What does this mean in terms of ongoing fundraising for PB and/or NIL

As a fan who has and does invest time and $ in the program, I’d love to know what our plan is. Give me something to be optimistic about. Bryan, Pat, whoever; WTF is it that you are doing?????

It should be substantial because we don’t offer sports

This could help us get back to a baseline but I don’t know if a plan has been publicly discussed

How exactly will revenue sharing look like ? Does anyone have approximate numbers ? B. Felt said they will review the athletic department revenue streams, can they start by implementing the Florida State model where the football coach assists in fundraising by donating 4.5million ? If Sha can drop 1 million that's a start.

I honestly don't know the answers but it does sound like there are some folks here that do. I am not being a wiseass, just very curious.

Jerry is being a bit dramatic here. There were a lot more than 2k people there. What he isn't being dramatic about is:

1. There were 20 students
2. It's sad when we crawl back to within 15 and then think we have a chance....15!!!!!
3. Tickets were $1 - 15th row midcourt ended up at $6
4. There are almost as many random Prudential Center employees and security as there are fans....whoever staffs that place is a moron
5. Even the band is a C- this year
6. I want to know how many season tickets were purchased last night at the season tickets table behind section 19...I'll go with 0
7. Anyone who thinks it's a good idea to move to D-3 or a lesser conference is also a moron. That is one of the dumbest f'ing ideas ever.
8. Pretzel prices...whew
9. Sha isn't going anywhere. If you know all of these people it is hilarious to think that Felt and/or Lyons is going to call Sha into a meeting and have a stern talk with him. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha *1000
10. I appreciate the crazy lady in Section 19 who gets sauced every game and by the middle of the 2nd half was yelling for Dual to shoot it from 5+ feet behind the 3-pt line as he brought the ball up the court.
Bonus #11 - Sha's constant throwing his hand up in the air routine/act/dramatics is getting old. You take the good with the bad though because when he gets fired up and into it that's also good for the team. The frustration though....grow up a little bit.
 
What exactly were they thinking? The conversations internally were…? And most of them were around when we were awful between 2006 and 2016. They KNOW what this does to the program.

This NIL topic has been debated on this site for 3 years. The people at Seton Hall were doing what? Did they think Sha was going to deliver them on a penny budget? What, the good players we kept losing was a fluke?
 
How is that going to help? You think Seton Hall is going to be at the forefront of revenue sharing?
Don't they almost have to be? The building is completely empty. The people who show up don't care. Season ticket renewals are going to tank. Donations are going to tank. Interest in the program is going to tank. What will the Pru look like next season if the roster consists of 5-6 returning players and a handful of top 200 portal/HS kids?

Trying to moneyball this thing will hurt the bottom line much more than overpaying to get some juice back into the program.

I agree with you. I think we need to "overpay" for potential competency (or better) at one or two spots rather than take portal risks or try to reproduce by volume and by taking young talent which hasn't yet panned out, which was what occurred it seems this past year.

Your answer is basically the middle, where SHU should be. Seton Hall can't money ball the entire team; they also can't afford high level starters across the board.

They need a systemic identity with clearly defined roles. Makes it easier to find guys, even if limited in other capacities, who should seemingly fit that role well. Whether that's a particular offense, a full court 1-3-1 trap, a 2-3 zone should be up to Sha but just pick something.

Pick a system, starting recruiting for it. Overpay for the 1-2 integral parts of the system. Unrealistic I know but hire 1-2 scouts who spent their full time looking for guys at all levels that fit the other roles.

Jerry can’t count and his constant need to bring Rutgers into every conversation about us is getting old and tired. It’s really getting pathetic and needs to stop.
