PISCATAWAY -- Ray Rice's inclusion in his hometown's Walk of Fame sparked a controversy ... and raised a question: Will he ever get into his alma mater's athletics Hall of Fame?
Rutgers announced its eight-member 2017 Athletics Hall of Fame class Monday, with former athletics director Bob Mulcahy and former quarterback Ray Lucas representing the football program.
But Rice is considered the greatest Rutgers football player of the modern era -- maybe ever, if you can compare him to Paul Robeson -- and would be a no-brainer inductee if not for the way his six-year NFL career ended.
