It surely does seem like the politicians and Rutgers administration, including Julie, have found a way around at least part of the funding. There are funds available from the state for the mixed use/parking deck because of the business school, so no specific bill has to be voted on in Trenton to give money to Rutgers for a basketball facility. As to how much partial funding comes from the state and how much from donors remains to be seen, but at least not all of it has to come from donors. Yeah, some will come from various parking fees for events and otherwise, so the bean counters are carefully counting those beans.
