No question. Mulcahy, with the encouragement from Schiano, funneled almost everything towards football. And I don't blame Schiano. His job is to fight for funds for his sport, especially when funds are limited. I blame Mulchay. He failed at his most important job. Fundraising. I was just starting at that time to have some ability to donate and it was very obvious very quickly he didn't give AF about anything other than football. A shocking dereliction of duty for a major school athletic director. This is not hyperbole. My high school lacrosse team, outside of the small amount of scholarship money BM provided, was supported more than the RU team. Pre game meals then consisted of an energy bar. Shocking.
At least Tim was able to get us to the point, though not good enough, where we had the instate allotment.
Pat's been amazing in creating a fully formed department. There is no reason we can't be good in everything, like a number of other schools. That's my hope for Rutgers.
I think Schiano has a very unique opportunity. He is in position to not only move the football needle forward in a huge way, but he can become the face of Rutgers as a whole. Let's hope he's matured and sees the much bigger opportunity he has in front of him.
