Rutgers rebuild starts at home: Facilities, attitude, in-state recruiting (USA Today)
http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nca.../80858696/
Quote:“It was a bad year in all regards,” Ash said of Rutgers’ 2015 season, which included a three-game suspension for then-coach Kyle Flood, who violated university policy in speaking with a faculty member about a player's academic status, and the arrest of five football players for their alleged roles in two separate incidents of assault and burglary on campus.
“I’m not here to judge what happened. I don’t really care. But I know this: I watched film on Rutgers last season, when I was sitting at Ohio State, and what I saw on film was a team that quit. When they were faced with adversity, they quit. That tells you there’s a problem. There’s a problem with the way they were trained, there’s a problem with the way they behaved, what they believe.
“So when you come here, there’s a dark cloud over this building. The challenge is to try and remove that. It starts with positive energy and a positive attitude every single day.”

And that folks is why we're so enamored with Ash thus far. Even if he's not the GUY here, I have little doubt he'll get the ball rolling in the right direction again.

Update
http://www.nj.com/rutgersfootball/index....iver_index
Quote: Crediting key financial supporters who went all-in to support the university's ambitious facilities plan for athletics, Rutgers Athletics Director Pat Hobbs provided an update on the fundraising progress with select media outlets Tuesday morning.
In January, Hobbs announced a $100 million fundraising initiative called "R Big Ten Build,'' saying in a video released on the school's website, "Together, we can transform Rutgers athletics. Together, we will transform Rutgers athletics.''
According to Hobbs, the initiative has surpassed the $50 million milestone thanks to 10 donations of $1 million or more, in addition to the three largest gifts in Rutgers Athletics history.
Thanks to an $11 million combined gift jointly made by three families — including university Board of Governors chair Greg Brown — Hobbs said Rutgers has made "extraordinary progress'' in fundraising in recent months.
The record-setting major gifts were provided by Greg Brown and his wife Anna, university Board of Overseers member/real e Steve Plofker and his wife, makeup mogul Bobbi Brown, and business leaders Jeff Towers and his wife Amy Towers.

After 4 years under the poor administration of President Barchi,Rutgers hired a real AD,hired a new football hc and staff with real budgets and hired a new basketball hc and staff with real budgets.Barchi was told to hire a real AD(the associate of wisconsin,but instead hired an extremely poor associate AD from louisville who never ran football or mens bb)Even the Rutgers was in the BIG 10 DUMB Barchi gave football and mens bb CUSA level budgets and failed miserably in building needed facilities especially in bb.Top this off with the failure of NJ governor to properly fund higher education and give giant tax breaks to those who funded his campaign for the US presidency.

Quote:The Rutgers University Board of Governors today approved construction of a multisport training and practice facility for Rutgers athletes on Livingston Campus.
The four-story, 125-000-square-foot facility will replace outdated and undersized facilities with new practice rooms and locker rooms, as well as strength-training and conditioning facilities for the men’s and women’s basketball, gymnastics and wrestling programs. It is expected to open July 2019.
“We are incredibly excited about this project,” said Pat Hobbs, director of Athletics for Rutgers. “The RWJBarnabas Health Athletic Performance Center will make a tremendous difference in the lives of our students and the competitiveness of our programs.”
