I read this week in the papers up here in NY that rutgers is having some trouble with the current financial crisis and lending issues. There enhancing their current stadium with 150 million dollar make over. apparently there cutting back on a lot of it.

Re: rutgers

It is amazing, we can't secure $60-70 million for a brand new stadium yet schools are spending $150 million on a "make-over."

I know the likes of Notre Dame, Michigan, etc. have done similar "make-overs" but those are top flight programs. While Rutgers has improved over the past 3-4 years, they are not a top program. Amazing that they can still dump $150 million into renovations.

Ahhh Rutgers. The place that pays the bills for my mom's life, and my sisters, and my niece.

Rutgers has a lot of private money as well. My mom called me the year before last to say that campus was CLOSED on a work/school day because people were camping out overnight just to try and get a ticket.

Years before, Rutgers couldn't give a ticket away.

We aren't far from that scenario…

And yes, Rutgers Stadium is awful. Definitely needs a serious makeover.

We're a Ray Rice away and a better conference away in my opinion… that's pretty substantial, but agree its not too far off the map for us.

Re: rutgers

We had our Ray Rice..... Anthony Crissinger-Hill. By far the best tightend in the nation THAT YEAR.

I think Kellen Winslow was a senior at UM that year….I will take 2nd best.

Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

One big difference.

Ray Rice wasn't on the weed. At least not that we know about.
