Rutgers basketball coach Steve Pikiell says he embraces adding a general manager.

He says he feels confident his impending portion of the revenue share plus additional funds will help him build a roster in his defense- first image.

Rutgers has four freshmen coming in for 2025-26 : point guard Lino Mark , shooting guard Kaden Powers , power forward Chris Nwuli .

Rutgers will return to the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas in November , a high-profile showcase with a $1 million appearance fee plus additional prize money.

Pikiell said revenue sharing and a general manager should negate the need to hunt revenue through scheduling.

Rutgers is late to the table in terms of NIL infrastructure, but “in fairness to everybody, they (the NCAA and courts) keep moving the goalposts while we’re trying to kick a field goal down the middle,” he said.
