Since Pat Hobbs took over the Rutgers athletic department in late November of 2015, one of his biggest accomplishments has been in drastically improving the fundraising efforts at Rutgers. The RFund was established soon after his arrival and the latest update per their website from June 20th, reports that almost $73 million dollars has been raised so far. That does include the $25 million dollar tax credit pushed through by Rutgers alum and state Senator Ray Lesniak. Still, based on past history, it signals extraordinary progress.
This past April, a 24 hour fundraising campaign was a huge success.
