As of Feb 2nd, RU has raised $70.4M and has 2056 donors. So more or less we raised $1M in the month of January.
Build Fund Update
- Thread starter bigmatt718
- Start date
I wonder how much is needed for phase II to start the Soccer and Lax complex. I know around $50 mil, was ear marked for the Wrestling/Bball practice facility. It's almost time to make another donation for this year, so 2057 coming soon.
We like donating to this fund the most, we know exactly where our money is going and can see tangible results. I can't wait for the Wrestling/Bball complex to be started. Every match as we pass by I'm going to tell my friends, "Yea I helped secure the funding for that".[laughing]

Idk about the rest of you, but I am closing out my 5 year pledge amount early this spring and will pledge more again next year. Great progress for RU. We are catching up!
Supposedly word on the street is Hobbs wants to break ground on lax/soccer facilities by June.
So you know when they start building the multipurpose practice center?
Construction for that should be around that time as well. I'm thinking we wait until after the spring semester is over, then start getting the cranes out.
It's already underway. On the side of the RAC where it is being built (by the media/band entrance) there are huge holes in the ground and they are laying pipe going from the RAC towards where the new building will stand.
We all have to Donate more money and get alot more people to Donate to Rutgers. These other schools will Donate fast and the more we sit back and wait for other people to Donate and not give any thing only hurts us in the all sports. People need to step up e everything helps out Rutgers sports can be real good it is time to build every body has to play a part to help recruits and parents ,coaches want the best most big 10 tens schools will donate to there school or team. Rutgers fans this is our time to shine.we are in the Big ten now new coaches new AD everyone has to stick together and forget about the past we all want to see our teams win.

They do. I believe they all fit with the Rutgers Foundation. All the different programs you can select all have the same parent.
Every game Barnwell runs for over 100 yards you should have to make a huge donation lol!
To reiterate what the athletic department appears to be prioritizing, the Soccer/Lax training complex on Busch and the RWJBarnabas Health Performance (Multisport Training) Center next to the RAC on Livingston are priorities at this time due to timing of those projects in order to then get the football complex/Hale Center upgrade going thereafter.
Of course not. Most people that donated did so under a multi year plan. The incremental is from the people that didn't participate at all last year.
The online page is really easy and quick (less than 2 min)
But I hear you , venmo is just the allure of not filling anything out.
With respect, rutgers alumni need to stop finding excuses. Im just going to guess that We're not the only school that doesn't accept venmo. But we certainly are a school that struggles with donations.
Totally agree. So many CHEAP and LAZY people on this forum alone.
Im starting to think RU alumni just aren't that successful. We have the highest rate of accord and camry drivers of any board out there. Our car threads are hilarious.... lol
I could definitely see myself just sending $100 venmo donations on the regular after wins and when I go out drinking lol
