Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 292282, member: 780"] Isn't Flood the coach because he was on the current staff and he was cheap? Rutger's athletic programs are running a $30M deficit that they balance by holding up the students with fees and transfers of money from the general fund. The students take out student loans partially to fund an athletic program which most of them don't care about. Tipp --- Many people are fooled by the "Rutgers logic" of a big school and a big potential market and "sleeping giant" and all that. But when you start to dig under all that you see a State university that the great majority of New Jerseyans don't care about. And zero athletic tradition. I grew up 18 miles from the Rutgers campus and was part of a sports-oriented community. No one I knew had ever been to a Rutgers home game in any sport. That's 18 miles ... right up Rte 27. Could you grow up 18 miles from Syracuse and not know a single soul that had ever been to an SU game? [/QUOTE]
