Rutgers catches the second red wave | Inquirer | 04/01/2007

Rutgers catches the second red wave | Inquirer | 04/01/2007: "The visibility of the institution has been raised tremendously, and it has paid off in many ways,' university spokesman Greg Trevor said.

In the fall, when the football team still had three more regular-season games to play, Rutgers was seeing a 9 percent spike in donor pledges, soaring sales of Rutgers merchandise, and a surge in interest from admissions applicants.

By the end of January, the latest period for which statistics were available, overall donations to the university were 35 percent higher than the year before. Athletic contributions were at $2.7 million, up from $1.9 million."
