They just hired Keli Zin from LSU who was

Executive Deputy AD/COO running all programs NIL. Her mandate is to win and increase NIL and revenue. The new president ran LSU and won baseball, WBB, W gymnastics, and men’s T&F natties in 4 years as head. He’s brought in Zinn and charged her to recreate this. I know from friends they are pressing boosters and going after rich alumni. Sadly theycame after multibillionaire Bernie Marcus went to the pearly Home Depot in the sky in 2024. ** Edited by Va AandM at 4/18/2026, 7:40:42 AM

No, we have no clue how much NIL cash Rutgers has to use, and they have BIG
ancient alien 2018 • 04/17/26 08:25 PM ET

Their athletic program is so in the red, the state has to pickup the tab.**
