I was watching college football over the weekend, and got a crazy salary cap idea.  Thinking about money, how would you rank Rutgers versus bang for your buck mentality.  According to the President of University of New Jersey, Rutgers loss money last year even though it went to a bowl game.  While this is true, it is a well known fact that a successful football program generates money from Alum giving.  Penn state saw giving increase 25% last year when the football team ended third in the nation. 

So, the question is how much does Rutgers lose by having a winning program.  The coach is only paid one million dollars a year.  Pennies when you think about how much bigger, better known colleges pay their coaches for mediocre teams.  Also, the mreo exposure for Rutgers will cause more people to attend the University.  Since it is all about enrollment, New Jersey University will benefit greatly from this program.  I, for one, would love to see Rutgers make it to the Big game just to have another team vie for the right to be champion.
