Even with B1G exposure and money, it ay take a LONG time for Rutgers to turn things around athletically.  Their current AD is incompetent.  Their President was hired due based on his experience running medical research universities.  The Governor would burn Rutgers to the  ground if it would improve his GOP Presidential  polling numbers a few points.   Thus, Rutgers has limited leadership.  Throw in an adversarial faculty who act like they are Princeton North and are activity trying to eliminate the $47 million subsidy (as of 2014) that the University provides the Athletic department annually.  Most of Rutgers 'new' money from donations and the B1G are going to help reduce the subsidy and the debt load that the University took on with its merger with the medical school (UMDNJ).  Thus, no idea how Rutgers is going to pay for needed athletic upgrades (new basketball arena & practice facility, indoor football practice facility, ice hockey upgrade, etc.)
