On the Banks is highlighting the 2017 inductees into the Rutgers Athletic Hall of Fame.
Bob Mulcahy became Rutgers’ director of athletics in 1998. Terry Shea was the football coach and Kevin Bannon was leading men’s basketball. That says a great deal about what Mulcahy was inheriting.
There is no question that Bob Mulcahy had a tremendous impact on athletics. Mulcahy was charged - and I believe that was a term he used a good deal - with fixing football. And if you saw the Terry Shea era at RU, you know “fixing” was a euphemism for complete overhaul.
