I honestly think this is a good move. There is light at the end of the tunnel for them. Have to work toward competiveness.

How much did Rutgers spend in first year of cost of attendance stipends?

>>Rutgers spent $1.61 million on student-athlete meals not related to travel in fiscal year 2016, according to the athletic department's report of revenues and expenses submitted to the NCAA and obtained by NJ Advance Media through an Open Public Records Act request.<<

>>At Rutgers, football is responsible for 85 percent ($1.37 million) of the non-travel meals expenditure, according to the NCAA report. Men's and women's basketball -- both of which also offer full scholarships -- take up the biggest chunk of the remaining pot.<<

>>On the men's side, basketball ($61,314), lacrosse ($16,169) wrestling (14,368), soccer ($12,838), track and field ($3,162) and golf ($204) received non-travel meals. Baseball did not. Every women's sport at Rutgers incurred some cost ranging from women's basketball ($37,101) to golf ($288). The others included: Rowing ($26,813), field hockey ($14,975), gymnastics ($14,912), soccer ($14,015), lacrosse ($8,508), volleyball ($5,084), swimming and diving ($4,612), track and field/cross country ($3,293), tennis ($2,410) and softball ($1,634.)<<

Crazy but true........

from ESPN.com - "It might surprise you to learn that Rutgers -- that is not a typo -- has more players on the Super Bowl rosters than any other Big Ten team. In fact, as NJ.com's Steve Politi points out, the Scarlet Knights' five representatives on both rosters (counting injured linebacker Jonathan Freeny) is the most of any college team."
