Rutgers Athletics Rising, But Still Behind | Rutgers Scarlet News

Rutgers athletic director Keli Zinn laid down the hard truth: the program’s financial footing is improving, but it’s still not elite. Just over a year into her tenure, she’s proud of revenue growth and new corporate partnerships that’ve given coaches more resources — vital in the Big Ten’s ever-evolving NIL landscape. Yet with rivals also ramping up, Rutgers remains in the middle third, aiming to climb further. Football coach Greg Schiano’s team is building with less than peers, so Zinn’s focus is on visible progress this season — not wins alone. Stadium renovations could debut by 2029, while indoor upgrades are on hold; the current practice bubble stays for now as the department maps its next moves.
