PISCATAWAY – It’s a good time to be a Rutgers alum.
In the last six months, Rutgers has had four alums win Super Bowl rings with the New England Patriots, another emerge as a national star with her unrivaled performance in the women’s World Cup and yet another win the Major League Baseball Home Run Derby and start the All-Star Game.
If that’s not crazy enough for a school in need of some good publicity after a run of negative headlines dating back to a scandal in April 2013, consider that the last two feats took place just eight days apart.
