Imagine the arrogance to go in and say you wanted to get paid more when you're already earning that much and you're actually cruddy at your job.

It's kind of the nature of the beast. For that type of position you're always self promoting.

Imagine still that “the glory days of Rutgers Athletics” consists of a middling football team and a basketball team that doesn’t make the tournament.

The funny thing I'd if you go to the Rutgers Gynmastics page, it mentions her husband and kids in her profile. Whoops.... Also, I've never seen such an effusive bio for someone whose had mediocre results as a coach. Babe Ruth has a shorter list of accomplishments than this coach. We know why.

I must say it was refreshing to read a well written, longform investigative journalism piece. Ninety-five percent of what passes for journalism today is clickbait dreck. Bravo to Steve Politi and Brian Fonseca!

Little known medical fact Hobbs may have been told:
Cardiologists find sex with your wife raises heart rate relatively little; extracurricular activity can be significantly more dangerous.

Lol, Pat Hobbs cut one hell of a deal.

An open records request of Rutgers' contract with Adidas revealed that Rutgers received $12,944,666.20 in value from Adidas and paid the company $16,257,918.46 over the six-year deal; the net result was that the university paid Adidas $3,313,252 over the duration of the agreement.

How do you lose money on a sponsorship deal?? Please explain, I guess I'm dim.

it's not a problem I'll ever have to deal with, but I'll never understand anyone needing far more than they already make, knowing that they already make far more than they will ever need.

I didn't read the article but my guess is he wants millions more than the millions he's already making.

Basically, Adidas said "well, I guess you can wear our uniforms, but you're going to have to pay a premium for them… After all, you are a Rutgers."

Biggest mistake that the Big Ten ever made. Some short term money for some very long term mediocrity.
