It doesn't seem to matter where these other schools play, or what states they come from. Small conferences, like the MAC, poor states like Michigan, that have cities going bankrupt,whatever their circumstances,money gets poured into those schools, and they have world class facilities.It's depressing how long things take to get done at Rutgers, and all the while, we fall further and further behind in the arms race.It should not be only on the backs of Alumni,but I guess in a state that can't even promise retirement packages to state employees that were bargained for years ago, giving money to The State University of New Jersey, your flagship school, is out of the question. Yet despite that, Rutgers continues to rise in the ranks of world class schools across the board in academics.We sit here,with this gem of a school, and as a state, we treat it as an after thought!:angry:
