Posted: 11/03/17 10:08 am ::: Rutgers extends CViv |

I nearly spit my coffee through my nose ... at 69, CViv got a four-year extension from Rutgers.
There's not caring about women's basketball, and really not caring about women's basketball.

It seems the Rutgers administration equates Stringer to womens basketball. They are one and the same. I suspect they believe supporting CViv with another contract demonstrates their support for women's basketball and for women coaches.
So in their own misguided way, I suspect they believe they are showing they care about WBB. They're wrong, but probably think this is a good thing.
Or maybe I'm giving them way too much credit, and they're just lazy.
Either way this is ridiculous.

They'll extend C.Viv until she's dead...or beyond. Look for the skeleton on the bench.....

Rutgers still has NO recruits for 2018. Maybe she argued that she needs the optics of an extension to get recruits to commit. If so, the AD would have been wise to include a very cheap buyout if she flounders again this year.

Charlaine gets a base salary of $775,000 this year with automatic $50,000 raises, regardless of performance, in each of the following three years -- raises that are more than the average yearly salary of most people. On top of that, she's eligible for $690,000 a year from a cornucopia of bonuses. It's all detailed here:
http://www.nj.com/rutgerswomen/index.ssf/2017/11/c_vivian_stringer_inks_4-year_extension_does_rutge.html
Stringer is the fourth highest paid person at Rutgers, which probably means she's the fourth highest paid state employee in the People's Republic of Goldfinch.
What has she done to deserve this Noachian flood of riches? Over the past 10 years she's piloted her ark from being the NC runner-up to a 6-24 record. |

I'd say "Rutgers STAAAAAAHP", but, well, I'm a Johnnie and a Pirate and sometimes even a Wolverine, so I'm perfectly okay with C. Viv running the ship right into the iceberg if it means my teams get the players she's not paying attention to.

Although denied, it sounds like they're trying to keep "the living legend" around Rutgers while she gracefully bows out. That way, she can do PR for the school, Rutgers can hire another coach and they can claim they treated CVS with great dignity. Rutgers currently runs a larger deficit than all the Big Ten combined. Combined. Think about that for a second. It's also been said that Rutgers is siphoning off money earmarked for academics to keep athletic afloat. This is a disgrace.

Fame is hard to give up. Sad day for both C. Viv and Rutgers.
