PISCATAWAY – Never has operating the 17th-most-subsidized athletic department in the nation looked so good on a school.
After two straight years as the leading national example for disproportionate revenues and expenses, Rutgers athletics’ fiscal year 2015 subsidy of $23.8 million — as reported in January by Gannett New Jersey — ranks No. 17 in the nation, according to a newly updated USA Today database.
The subsidy is a combination of institutional support, government support and student fees.
Beyond subsidy, @RUAthletics spent less on athletics than any other #B1G school. How much less?
