The 2016 fiscal year was a record-setting one for Rutgers Athletics. Is the best yet to come?
Money makes the world go ‘round. And it gets things done in athletics, too.
The 2016 fiscal year is closed and Rutgers Athletics set a new fundraising record with $30.3 million in new gifts and pledges. It is a staggering 111% increase from the prior year and an 80.5% increase over the previous best of $16.8 million in 2010.

Athletic Director Pat Hobbs was more than happy to offer thanks and congratulations to those who earned it:
“We are extremely grateful to the many members of the Rutgers community who have enabled this record level of giving,” said Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Patrick Hobbs.
