The one thing seemingly holding Rutgers back from the rest of the B1G was their lack of money spent on athletics. Kyle Flood was paid $1.25 million, good for dead last among full-time head coaches in the conference.
As new Athletic Director Pat Hobbs head the search for Flood's replacement, it seems as if the University is headed into uncharted territories in terms of money. It is clear that in order to get a decent head coach, they would have to pay more than $1.25 million. One might think an appropriate number for a new coach would be around $2.
