Rutgers has been lent $48 Million by the Big Ten

I was not aware that the B1G had this much money withheld from conference members or that it was making loans of this size.

I live in northern NJ. The BERGEN RECORD newspaper has a multi-page expose detailing the absolute chaos in their Athletic Dept. financial situation. The Dept. has an outstanding debt of $265 million. It is beyond bizarre what has been going on there.

Purdue beat Rutgers 89-54 on January 15, 2019. You make it sound like we never beat Rutgers. Painter has pretty much owned Rutgers until 2020.

Didn’t the ADs office try to hide the debt as well?
