Special Report: A downtown New Brunswick arena for Rutgers instead of the RAC? Almost in 1970s

Rutgers suffers from “a complete lack of modern” basketball facilities.

Opposing coaches tell the athletic director that the university has the equivalent of a “high school gym.”

Rutgers president increases his communication with government officials on the pressing facilities need.

All of it could be ripped from today’s headlines. Instead these are the issues of 45 years ago, solved in a cruel twist by … the Rutgers Athletic Center.

Yes, the same Louis Brown Athletic Center — or RAC — that is causing similar angst to resurface right now. Rutgers is working toward the unveil of the latest plan for refurbishing outdated basketball facilities, which could happen as soon as June 18 at a Board of Governors meeting.
