Celebrities you saw at Rutgers games

Christie Whitman at a Rutgers-Georgetown game at then then-MCI Center. (This was before I waited on her twice while moonlighting at the old Linens N Things in Bridgewater.)
Whitman was so often at R games (men and women) at the RAC as Governor I don't even consider her one of the "celebrities" here.
Nuts I bELieve you and guess he doesn't owe Rutgers anything though it can be argued:
1) Lots of Rutgers alum and students have attended his concerts (easily 310+ tickets alone between Piscataway Mike, brother and myself).
2) Rutgers has paid him to play the Ledge and Barn.
That said he hasn't done a lot to support RU. he can attend Dook games at the Meadowlands but to my knowledge has never attended a Rutgers hoops or football game (let alone donate to the school). After fame has he played a SINGLE show at Rutgers (he's played Penn State) I do know as late as 2009? Piscataway Mike was shut out of a Giants stadium show (I only got into that show courtesy of my former RU Court Club Membership Chair/Big Donor).
Anyone can wear a hat to a gym. If I wear a Penn State hat it doesn't necessarily mean I support Penn State or pedophilia. I myself have started many "fan" conversations only to find out that person isn't a fan.
Maybe he's an alum and "townie" but John Mellencamp has/had season tickets for Indiana Basketball, has played shows on campus and I believe possibly donates to Indiana.
Remember BRUCE is the one that is/was always "Jersey, Jersey, Jersey" in concert. Therefore I do think to a limited extent those who complain have a point.
