SL laying the ground for new assault on RU

[RU76]

Headline writers say that Hobbs is among university's highest paid. But then the article mentions 62 of 69 best compensated are at the medical school. To me the story should be about the medical school mess the university inherited, rather than the AD's salary. The average reader will see the headline and think we are flushing wasted money into sports.

Wait until something else comes up and the media fights for yet another athletic regime change. It will happen. The are flushed with power. Mulcahy, Pernetti, Hermann and Flood have all been targeted. Our presidents, too.

If GS comes back, the narrative towards him will shift too.

How are they going to argue with the chief of Neurosurgery making $3mm? Especially when they themselves point out the bulk of that money is private practice, research grants, surgeries and so forth.

 

[Mikemarc]

Not an assault. This info was bound to come out. Still way below the median Big Ten AD salaries.

They make medications for this condition.

I promise you that the SL staff isn't following you around.

It's not paranoid to think the SL is gearing up to attack the new coach, the amount spent, etc.

In fact, given their history of anti-RU bias, complete lack of talent, near-total lack of journalistic integrity (Todderick saves them here) and inability to hire more than one reasonable writer (Todderick again), it would be the height of naivety to think they aren't gearing up for such attacks. You can bet your bippy that Manahandjob is making up slanted **** to "report" even now.

Med school faculty are always the highest paid, nothing to see here.

 

[mdk02]

Wait!!! I've been reading for weeks (here, not the SL) about how they had seen the light and were now pro Rutgers. This can't be true.

 

[wheezer]

What they probably really are waiting for is the release of the internal investigation, revealing the drug testing coverup

Front page news for them, one would think.

it will fall on deaf ears for the most part

What?

Sadly, that tabloid still needs to get clicks. There is no accountability and no integrity.
The headlines over there barely say what the article is about anymore, trying to bait us in.
How many other states would even care about what the AD at their state university makes? Only in NJ.

If only the writers were fired too, then we could really start fresh.

 

[biazza38]

who cares about SL.
I stopped reading their crap this year. From time to time I went for the injury report and to see if any new recruits were visiting. Besides that, it's all crap. Their articles are boring and tell us nothing we don't already know.

 

[RUChoppin]

With Barchi essentially saying money is no object in this coaching search, there will certainly be a string of "how much money is being spent on athletics" articles coming up that talk about pure dollars spent, subsidy numbers, and relative salaries to other staff.

I'm sure Hobbs' scalp also has a bright red target on it given the fate of the last three ADs.

 

[pancakeman86]

Yea, people don't understand the complexity of how medical school - hospital relations work. Doctors salaries are heavily funded through their practice, and actual medical schools are heavily subsided by the profit that hospital and clinicians bring in. Rutgers is not forking up the $3 million dollars to pay the chief of neurosurgery, and I bet he brings in a lot more for the hospital. If anything Rutgers is getting money from the hospital, thats how any academic medical center works.

Also don't underestimate the power, prestige, and money a top notch academic medical center can bring in. Yes, this might suck right now, but if all goes well in 10 years time Rutgers Med can be something to be proud of.

 

[RU76]

I well understand what medical and other professionals make. The gist of the article discusses this. The point is the headline like most headlines dealing with RU from the SL have an anti-RU slant. And the SL seems to regurgitate every bad thing that ever happened at RU at every opportunity, even when the regurgitation has little to do with the subject matter. This has been going on for decades. It is difficult to build pride in the state university when it is constantly attacked and columnists are calling for the heads of everyone in sight. Once we let them dictate to us the Mulcahy termination the blood was in the water and RU treated those guppies as if they were sharks.

 

[RutgHoops]

They put tigers down after one kills a human as tigers will get a taste for human blood.

Mulcahy, Rice, Julie, Flood. We click their links and give them views (I haven't in years). They have a taste for our blood and can not be satisfied unless they are tearing down a coach, coaches or administrators.

 

[DANTHEMAN_rivals329139]

At lunch today, a neighbor who does not follow RU sports, but reads the APP, was talking about "the mess" at RU. People get news from the papers and other news sources, and if a person hears over and over again about a mess going on somewhere, then that is what is believed. The reality does not matter. And, yes, the Star Liar hates RU, tells lies and distorts reality. I hate the paper that I used to buy regularly. I hope that rag goes out of business, and their employees get an honest occupation.

 

[krup]

They can't stand that the newspaper industry, which used to be so glamorous and powerful, will soon be as relevant to people as the manufacture of buggy whips and carbon paper. Their influence will continue to shrink as people who possessed the habit of being spoonfed their news by a central source each day die from old age.

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

Of course the Slime Ledger is going to look to undermine the new AD and/or HFBC...

the question is only when.


I've already put the O/U at 67 days
