I might have seen it here or there but typically it won't have the trailing 's'. But it is one convention of the possessive form. Some prefer that with words ending in 's' to follow with just an apostrophe and not an additional 's' thereafter. Both versions are considered grammatically acceptable from my understanding.I don’t think I have ever seen the word Rutgers’s .
Camden, did construction start in the new Business School building before corona hit? Or is funding now an issue?
While perhaps possessive in a technical sense, wouldn't the examples you provided where Rutgers is a part of a larger name and thus the entire word grouping (also signified with each primary word starting with a capital letter) just considered a proper noun?Sometimes it's "Rutgers" without any possessive as in "Rutgers basketball. " Consider also "Rutgers School of Law." These are both possessives, but without any indication of that. There's probably a rule on this that I don't remember.

Latter, every time. I don't see how that particular sentence can ever be the former, actually, unless you add the word 'team' after basketball. I do think that basketball as used there should be with a capital B because it's a compound name (of a team) afterall. Sure on message boards with being casual writing or laziness or typos, it's no big deal if it's not always typed with a capital B as it's not an academic exercise.Take the sentence: :Rutgers basketball is doing well this year. Would you write "Rutgers' basketball" or "Rutgers basketball?" I think the latter despite no capitalization. What do you think?
