Late Wednesday morning, NJ Advance Media’s Steve Politi, Keith Sargeant, and James Kratch reported that negotiations between Rutgers and Greg Schiano have hit a critical juncture. Schiano has reportedly made “significant demands” in order to return as head coach for Rutgers football.
Schiano is believed to want significant improvements to the football infrastructure in Piscataway, including an indoor practice facility that is a common recruiting tool on every rival Big Ten campus and would likely move the team out the existing headquarters at the Hale Center.
It is likely that any project of that magnitude would need high-level university approval before it can be included in a contract with the coach.
