R B1G BUILD facilities launched

[ScarletDave]

There is a really cool website that athletics launched that shows renderings of the new basketball, wrestling, volleyball, gymnastics, lax/soccer/tennis, and football facilities that they hope to build in the near future. With $25 million from the state, they hope to raise another $100 million to fund the rest of these projects. There are even pages showing what things can be funded/naming rights bought to. The coolest part though I think is the floor plans. Makes everything seem so real!! Go play around:

Impressive.

Ash, Jordan and Hobbs all kicked in $50K for the initiative. Way to put their money where there mouths are.

This is the time for the Rutgers community and businesses surrounding it to step-up. If it doesn't happen now, it is never going to.

Need some of our pro athletes to help.

 

[jay_hq]

Threw in my 50k too.

 

[Trekology]

Stringer?

According to the video below your post (and above mine), every coach and administrator has made a pledge.

 

[Caliknight]

If she didn't throw in $50k or more, that would be pretty lame.

where did Corey Sanders come from @ 1:39? He just randomly appears lol

Everyone needs to help. It's all hands on deck time.

Look what happens when our poor wrestlers run out of space

They were probably already in the stadium running stadium stairs, they have a wrestling room to themselves. The new one will obviously be much nicer.

 

[ArminRU]

Do they have a running tally of the amount raised. Would be cool if they did GoFundMe style...

Hahhaha! I didn't notice him the first time I watched it.

 

[ru66]

now's the time to open your purse strings

 

[soundcrib]

So are they putting tennis courts by Yurcak? I thought the original capital plan had tennis courts on Livingston.

it would be a good way for Ray Rice to be welcomed back into the family

sold...just donated.

 

[pmvon]

Set up a monthly payment to get to 500 a year. There are thousands on this board, let's go people!!!!

I think someone here might be able to explain how this stuff works to the folks on Reddit..,..http://www.reddit.com/r/rutgers/comments/41wzwp/ad_pat_hobbs_on_project_to_raise_100_million_for/

I love Reddit. It helps the idiots in the world congregate to one place.

 

[RUsSKii]

Fantastic idea and setup, with the AD and coaches being invested in the concept. Already donated as a result.

Highly doubt that Ray has money to be throwing around. I don't think he grossed more than 5 million in the NFL and now he's locked out.

Look closer, he was behind Hobbs' head at the beginning. You can see a tiny bit of him showing.

I could've gone the rest of my life without seeing that. The idiocy is mind-slapping.

Reddit makes the NJ.com comment section look like a Mensa gathering.

 

[ru66]

so why isn't this at the top of posts--everyone should be pledging NOW

 

[HeavenUniv.]

Am I correct that no current coach at Rutgers has made more money than Coach Stringer while at Rutgers ?

 

[drewbagel423]

These pivotal projects will result in additional critical training space and will have a dramatic and wide-ranging impact on all 24 athletic programs and on the 600 student-athletes who represent Rutgers on a national stage.

I'm in, but... damn. $100MM to support 600 students. And I know this isn't even that much, relative to our peers. College athletics is out of control.

To be fair, has any current coach been at Rutgers anywhere near as long as she has?

 

[HeavenUniv.]

Drew,some would say that she should donate more than anyone else because of that reason. And yes, I do know she can't be throwing money all over the place because of her daughter. I would certainly want to make sure she is provided for in the years to come.

No state employee in history has ever drawn more money from the New Jersey treasury than Coach Stringer.
