I used 2012-2013 which is when the announcement was made. It’s on one of the Rutgers sites which also lists the prior $28 million you referenced for the prior year, so the $47 million should be accurate.

I have no idea where you got the thought that we’ve never run a deficit that high. I can link the article if you want (I prefer not to give the clicks), but our deficit was $73 million for 2020-2021, higher than UCLA’s.
You did try to move the goalposts and now you’re being disingenuous by denying it. You also left out the Big 12 and their new TV deal when saying these 2 schools needed the Big 10 in the same way Rutgers did, which again, is inaccurate.
