Today is groundbreaking.

I can't wait to get this thing going... props to RU for getting this done.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what the renderings look like. I imagine that there will be a face-lift to the RAC too. There are some really exciting times coming up for Rutgers athletics.
 
They need something like this to jumpstart the capital campaign. It has really seemed to stall out as the year has progressed. Glad to see it being built. Should help with recruiting now that you can say it will be done "after next season."

I assume that they are being slightly conservative, and it is expected to be done prior to fall sports season 2018.

Brandin Knight was very direct about recruiting and now the Albatross around the neck of recruiting will be gone.

“I think in general kids like to see all of the bells and whistles so now with Instagram and social media, there’s this constant posting and evolution of what your program looks like and if you lack these things it makes you an easy target for some negative recruiting,” he said.
