His perspective was particularly informative not only because he played for the Scarlet Knights, but also since his brother is a freshman on the current squad. Hear what he had to say!

Episode 11: Rutgers raises money and builds for the future Sep 08, 2017

Show notes

All Rutgers fans want Rutgers to compete at the highest level. To do that, they need money. There will be an influx shortly when the Scarlet Knights receive their equal share of B1G revenue. However, they still won't be on an even keel when it comes to alumni donations. In recent years, the administration has been making inroads to energizing the fan base and raising revenue. This has resulted in some big goals, including those highlighted on the rutgersbigtenbuild.com website. In today's podcast, we talk to one of the fans who is making it his mission to raise money, raise awareness, and connect other fans to the school's fundraising efforts. Jon Newman will give you an inside glimpse into what the school is up to, how he is contributing, and what we can expect to see in terms of on-campus renovations and improvements. This is an awesome inside look into where Rutgers has been, and where it is going.
