To be perfectly fair, you live in NJ and are outraged that your tax dollars go toward the state flagship U, but you don't express the same outrage, when an NBA franchise is getting a basketball facility in SJ, and is asking the taxpayers to pay for it too? Actually they are. I believe in Ct, taxpayers support the flagship.
Where did I say that I am outraged that my tax dollars are going to the state flagship university of the state that I live in? Nowhere. I am outraged that my hard earned tax dollars are supporting the base salary, which happens to be $450,000 annually, of a AD who appears to be incompetent and ill-suited for such a high profile, public role. She has created one PR nightmare after another and has shown no leadership ability nor an ability to think before she opens her mouth. Rutgers needs a strong AD to lead the transition to the B1G, upgrade the facilities to B1G standards, and to make-up for the complete lack of P5 athletic experience that Rutgers current President has. Hermann is not that AD.
As for Connecticut, I was also outraged about Hathaway's tenure as AD at UConn; but, I had moved to Boston by that point in time so my tax dollars were not involed.
