Should Rutgers upgrade its athletics facilities? A New Jersey lawmaker says yes.

Via NJ.com, state Sen. Raymond Lesniak (D-Union), a Rutgers graduate and season-ticket holder, commissioned a study that concluded the economic impact is worth the investment.

The website obtained a draft of Lesniak's study ahead of its public release and reports Lesniak would like to see the Scarlet Knights' facilities upgraded to put them on more equal footing with their new Big Ten rivals, particularly the Rutgers Athletics Center, home to the school's basketball teams.
