Rutgers Athletic Finances, Part 1: And just how are we turning that corner?

We aren't receiving a full share of Big Ten money yet....and we won't for a while. Yet, we need to compete against established powers in our own conference. Is there hope? Is there a chance?

The "subsidy", the direct institutional support as the NCAA report calls it, for Rutgers athletics had declined by almost 35%. And the Rutgers administration was quick to say that this was a sign of things to come.
