COACH SCHIANO
Sports
Greg Schiano, who previously led Rutgers to new heights from 2001-11, is in his second season back as the head football coach “On the Banks.” Schiano has directed the Scarlet Knights to six bowl appearances, coached 85 RU players who signed NFL contracts and guided the program to the top APR score in the nation so far during his time leading Rutgers football. The 2006 National Coach of the Year owns three nine-win campaigns and coached 17 Rutgers All-America selections, posting 59 wins in his last eight seasons at the helm.

RUTGERS GETS YOU READY
Rutgers football set records both on and off the field under the guidance of head coach Greg Schiano. Upholding the academic prestige of Rutgers University was the standard for the Scarlet Knights, who secured the nation’s top Academic Progress Rate in 2010 and ranked No. 2 in 2011. Rutgers was the only state university ranked in the top 10 percent in each of Schiano’s last five seasons. The Scarlet Knights have made their impact felt in the community as well, volunteering with Special Olympics NJ, visiting local hospitals and participating in youth camps. The group has also lent their voices to critical discussions around social activism, racial justice and tolerance.

Coach Schiano is one of the biggest influences in my life. His ability to develop young men is second to none. I have more respect and appreciation for him than any coach I have ever been around. BRIAN LEONARD, 2003-06
I'm fired up to see what's to come for Rutgers. Schiano had a lot of success his first time there and I got to witness first hand the lessons he taught us as a head coach. JASON MCCOURTY, 2005-08
He knows you’re never going to be perfect, but he’s going to try and get the best out of you every single day. You’ll take that with you for the rest of your life. Our fan base has something to be excited about. This will be a football team that is prepared, plays hard and goes out every Saturday and gives it its all. MIKE TEEL, 2004-08
It’s amazing to have Coach Schiano back here at Rutgers University. He’s done so much for me in my personal career. The culture he built here allowed me to form relationships that will last a lifetime. I’m super blessed to have had him as a coach, and I know the University is blessed to have him back. KEVIN MALAST, 2005-08
It's great to see Coach Schiano back right where he belongs. With him in charge, Rutgers will look like the great teams of his era. MOHAMED SANU, 2009-11

BOWL CHAMPIONSHIPS
After making one prior trip to a bowl game in Rutgers football history, Schiano led the team to six bowls in seven seasons, including the program’s first bowl victory. The Scarlet Knights won the last five, which was the longest active streak in the nation following the 2011 season. In addition, RU was ranked in 20 weeks during Schiano’s tenure after appearing in the AP Poll only nine times prior.

NFL KNIGHTS
Schiano mentored 85 Scarlet Knights who went on to sign NFL contracts. That includes first-round picks in Kenny Britt (2009), Anthony Davis (2010) and Devin McCourty (2010). Rutgers had never had a player taken in the first round before Britt went 30th overall to the Tennessee Titans. Davis’ selection at No. 11 by the San Francisco 49ers marked the highest draftee in school history. McCourty, who went 27th to the New England Patriots, has won three rings in five trips to the Super Bowl. Eleven Scarlet Knights who played for Schiano at Rutgers entered the 2021 season active on NFL rosters (Michael Burton, Andrew DePaola, Michael Dwumfour, Duron Harmon, Clark Harris, Tyler Kroft, Devin McCourty, Jason McCourty, Logan Ryan, Mohamed Sanu and Brendon White).

RUTGERS FOOTBALL
In New Jersey, our fans are just louder - around here we call it the Jersey Factor. SHI Stadium is home of the Rutgers Scarlet Knights and is located on campus in Piscataway. Packed, loud and 52,454 proud, SHI Stadium is the site for the ultimate college game day experience. Each fall Saturday, New Jerseyans unite in the excitement generated by The Knight Pulse, a game day tradition where fans pound their chests to the beat of "The Hum," as the energy in the stadium builds to a crescendo in the biggest stadium moments. Combined with the Knight riding horseback into the stadium and unique performances by the Rutgers Marching Band, the atmosphere on game day is electric.

GREG SCHIANO
HEAD COACH (13TH SEASON)
SCARLET KNIGHTS
Greg Schiano, who previously led Rutgers to new heights from 2001-11, is in his second season back as the head football coach “On the Banks.” The Wyckoff, New Jersey, native returned home to Piscataway on Dec. 3, 2019 and immediately made an impact on and off the field in 2020.
COACHING STAFF 2020 REVIEW
Schiano has directed the Scarlet Knights to six bowl appearances, coached 85 RU players who signed NFL contracts and guided the program to the top APR score in the nation so far during his time leading Rutgers football. The 2006 National Coach of the Year owns three nine-win campaigns and coached 17 Rutgers All-America selections, posting a 59-40 mark in his last eight seasons at the helm. His 71 overall wins are fourth in school history, behind Frank Burns (78), Harvey Harman (74) and John Bateman (73).
Rutgers posted a program-best 26.7 points per game in a Big Ten season, with eight games of at least 20 points after reaching the mark only five times in the prior four years. The 13.4 more points per game than 2019 marked the fourth-best improvement nationally following the regular season, while the scoring differential in Big Ten play was the best for the team by a margin of 8.6. The defense had at least one takeaway in 8-of-9 games with 19 overall, the most since 2012, and led the league with 7.8 tackles-for-loss per game.
“Rutgers University and this football program have meant the world to me and my family,” Schiano said upon returning. “I arrived here in 2000 with the goal to build a program that would be a source of pride for the state of New Jersey and develop great young men. I look forward to embracing that challenge once again. This is a great opportunity for all of Rutgers to pull together to get us back to where we all know we belong. It will take everyone on this campus and in the State of Rutgers to get this done.”
Off the field, the Scarlet Knights launched #Chop4Change to spread a message of unity and equality amidst the national social justice discussion, while registering every student-athlete on the team to vote in the 2020 election. The initiative also involved giving back to the community through various forms.
RECORDS & RESULTS
The 2020 season presented unforeseen challenges dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. Playing a Big Ten-only schedule, the Scarlet Knights were one of just two teams in the conference to play all nine of its scheduled games. RU, despite missing spring and summer camp, matched the program high with three Big Ten victories, all away to equal the number of league road wins the previous six seasons combined.
HISTORY & TRADITION
With a commitment to player and culture development, the Scarlet Knights had 14 players recognized in the All-Big Ten voting, the most for the program since joining the conference. That included four on the top-three teams, with wide receiver Aron Cruickshank, the Big Ten Rodgers-Dwight Return Specialist of the Year and honorable mention All-America pick by Phil Steele, and linebacker Olakunle Fatukasi both earning first-team honors.
UNIVERSITY

The program also achieved academic success with 46 studentathletes recognized on the Fall Academic All-Big Ten list, the most for the Scarlet Knights since joining the conference. The team posted its highest GPA ever as a program during the spring 2020 semester. After making one prior trip to a bowl game in Rutgers football history, Schiano led the team to six bowls in the final seven seasons of his first stint, including the program’s first bowl victory. The Scarlet Knights won the last five, which was the longest active streak in the nation following the 2011 season. In addition, RU was ranked in 20 weeks during Schiano’s first tenure after appearing in the AP Poll only nine times prior. Schiano first took over on Dec. 1, 2000. “This program will be built on a rock foundation,” he said. “It will take longer than building it on stilts, but when it’s built, it will be built forever. This is where I started; this is where I was striving to get back to. I’m thrilled to be here. It’s time.” Building up the Scarlet Knights with three rejuvenating recruiting classes to start, Schiano put together an upset win over Syracuse to close 2003 before knocking off Michigan State to start 2004 in front of the largest crowd in Rutgers Stadium history at the time (42,612). The team broke through in 2005 with a 7-5 record, the first winning season since 1992, and a trip to the Insight Bowl for RU’s first bowl appearance since 1978. Moving to the memorable 2006 campaign, Rutgers went 11-2, earned the program’s first national top-10 ranking (peaking at No. 7) and won a bowl championship with a convincing 37-10 victory over Kansas State in the Texas Bowl. “Pandemonium in Piscataway” was achieved with a 28-25 upset of No. 3 Louisville in front a raucous home crowd and national television audience. It was the first triumph for the program over a top-25 opponent since 1988. Schiano collected the Eddie Robinson, Walter Camp, Home Depot and Liberty Mutual National Coach of the Year, as well as the Big East Coach of the Year following the season. The final national ranking of No. 12 still stands as the high-water mark in program history.

While producing victories at a rate unprecedented in the program’s history, the Rutgers football team is also committed fully to succeeding in the classroom. In 2010, Rutgers ranked first in the nation in Academic Progress Rate. The team followed that up with the nation’s No. 2 ranking in 2011. The program was the lone state university to be ranked in the top 10 percent nationally in APR during each of Schiano’s last five seasons of his first term.
Eleven Scarlet Knights who played for Schiano at Rutgers entered the 2021 season active on NFL rosters (Michael Burton, Andrew DePaola, Michael Dwumfour, Duron Harmon, Clark Harris, Tyler Kroft, Devin McCourty, Jason McCourty, Logan Ryan, Mohamed Sanu and Brendon White). Schiano accepted the head coach position for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Jan. 2012 and spent two seasons at the helm of the NFL franchise. Schiano returned to the sidelines as the associate head coach and defensive coordinator, also coaching safeties, at Ohio State in 2016. He coached 10 players who were NFL Draft picks, five of whom were first-round selections during his three seasons. There were three first-round picks from the secondary in the 2017 NFL Draft: Malik Hooker (Indianapolis), Gareon Conley (Oakland) and Marshon Lattimore (New Orleans). Hooker, a unanimous All-America pick in 2016, was first nationally with three “pick-sixes” and third nationally with seven interceptions that season.
UNIVERSITY
Schiano also turned special teams in a game-changing force for the Scarlet Knights. RU has blocked 60 kicks during to rank among the nation's leaders, while scoring 54 defensive/special teams touchdowns, including three in 2020. Kicker Jeremy Ito shattered the school record with 80 career field goals and earned All-America status.
Known as a tireless recruiter with the ability to spot talent and develop players, Schiano has mentored 85 Scarlet Knights who went on to sign NFL contracts. That includes first-round picks in Kenny Britt (2009), Anthony Davis (2010) and Devin McCourty (2010). Rutgers had never had a player taken in the first round before Britt went 30th overall to the Tennessee Titans. Davis’ selection at No. 11 by the San Francisco 49ers marked the highest draftee in school history. McCourty, who went 27th to the New England Patriots, has won three rings in five trips to the Super Bowl.
HISTORY & TRADITION
Schiano coached the leading rusher, passer and receiver by yards in Rutgers football history, sending all to the NFL. Ray Rice finished with 4,926 rushing yards, 1,812 more than second place, with 49 touchdowns. He holds the top two spots on the RU single-game rushing leaderboard with a high of 280 in the 2008 International Bowl. Mike Teel was a three-year starting quarterback and is the only signal caller in school history to lead the Scarlet Knights to three bowl victories. Throwing for 9,398 yards overall, he still owns single-game school records for passing yards (447) and touchdowns (7) in Rutgers' 63-14 victory over Louisville in 2008. Britt was a primary target for Teel, recording 3,403 receiving yards. He once had five consecutive games with over 100 yards and totaled 14 such outings, both school standards.
The emphasis on academics continued in 2020 with a program-high 46 Academic All-Big Ten selections and the highest recorded GPA in team history during the spring 2020 semester.
RECORDS & RESULTS
In 2011, Rutgers had its third nine-win season under Schiano, tying Burns for the most in program history. The Scarlet Knights defeated Iowa State, 27-13, in the Pinstripe Bowl for the fifth-straight bowl win.
Nate Jones became the program’s first two-time CoSIDA Academic All-America selection (2002-03) and was a member of the National Football Foundation/College Football Hall of Fame National Scholar Class of 2003, one of just eight FBS players honored. In addition, Brandon Renkert earned CoSIDA Academic All-America status in 2007, while Brian Leonard received the prestigious Draddy Trophy, recognized as the “Academic Heisman,” in 2006.
2020 REVIEW
The momentum continued in 2007 with eight more wins, which included a 30-27 victory over No. 2 USF. The season was capped by running past Ball State, 52-30, in the International Bowl and set school records for scoring (426), first downs (294) and total offense (5,841). The 2008 campaign started 1-5, but the Scarlet Knights reeled off a six-game winning streak to become bowl eligible again and went on to beat NC State, 29-23, in the PapaJohns.com Bowl to finish with seven-straight in the win column. Then in 2009, RU beat a top-25 opponent for the fourth consecutive year and took down UCF, 45-24, in the St. Petersburg Bowl to finish off a 9-4 season.

The Buckeyes went 36-5 in Schiano’s three years as defensive coordinator and 24-3 against Big Ten opponents. That led to two Big Ten titles plus wins in the 2017 Cotton Bowl and 2019 Rose Bowl. In addition, OSU was No. 6 nationally in total defense under Schiano in 2016 when advancing to the College Football Playoff semifinals. The Buckeyes were one of just three programs to rank in the top 10 in total defense in both 2016 and 2017. Schiano was the No. 2 recruiter in the nation by 247Sports and CBSSports.com for the 2018 signing class.
COACHING STAFF 2020 REVIEW
Schiano served as the defensive coordinator at Miami in 1999 and 2000 before becoming the Rutgers head coach. The Hurricanes posted a 20-5 record during that time, including 11-1, the No. 2 national ranking and a Sugar Bowl win in 2000. That defense finished fifth nationally in scoring defense (15.5) after ranking 12th in the category the year before (17.2). Following the 2000 season, linebacker Dan Morgan, who was the 11th overall pick in the NFL Draft, became the first player in college football history to win the Butkus Award (top linebacker), Nagurski Award (college defensive player of the year) and Bednarik Award (top defensive player) in the same year, in addition to being a consensus first-team All-America selection and the Big East Defensive Player of the Year. Strong safety Ed Reed was also a consensus first-team All-America honoree in 2000 and would later earn a spot in the both the College Football Hall of Fame and Pro Football Hall of Fame.
RECORDS & RESULTS
Prior to his assignment in Miami, Schiano spent three seasons in the NFL with the Chicago Bears (1996-98). The 1997 team placed first in the NFC in third-down defense (31.7 percent), while the 1996 squad climbed from 27th in the NFL to 11th in fewest yards allowed.
HISTORY & TRADITION
Schiano was the defensive backfield coach at Penn State from 1991-95 after working as a graduate assistant in 1990. The Nittany Lions picked up 58 wins throughout those years and made six bowl appearances. The 1994 PSU team went 12-0 (8-0 Big Ten) and finished No. 2 in the national rankings after beating Oregon in the Rose Bowl. He previously was a graduate assistant at Rutgers in 1989, beginning his coaching career as an assistant as his alma mater, Ramapo High School, the year before. Schiano was a three-year letterwinner at linebacker for Bucknell (1985-87). He was named to the Sporting News All-America Preseason Team in 1987. He served as a team captain his senior year after leading the team with 114 tackles as a junior to earn All-Patriot League honors.

• Named a candidate for the 2020 Broyles Award, which annually honors the top assistant coach in college football. • Rutgers posted a program-best 26.7 points per game in a Big Ten season. The Scarlet Knights scored at least 20 points in eight games after reaching the mark five times the previous four seasons and 12 times in the first 52 Big Ten games. The 26.7 points per game ranked eighth in the Big Ten, improving from No. 14 the preceding season, as the previous best ranking in Big Tenonly games was 11th. • Rutgers finished as the fourth-most improved team in the nation by scoring offense (+13.4 points per game). The Scarlet Knights scored 81 more points than in 2019 (playing three fewer games), the sixth-best improvement in the nation in total points scored (the five higher teams all played 12 games). In addition, RU was the most improved in the Big Ten total in touchdowns scored (+12) and offensive touchdowns (+9). • Rutgers averaged over 300 yards per game in a Big Ten season for the first time since 2015. The increase of 66 yards per game overall was the best improvement among Big Ten teams. The 3,052 yards of total offense was 1,172 more than the previous year in Big Ten play. • Saw wide receiver Bo Melton (one of three receivers in the Big Ten to rank in the top six in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns) and offensive linemen Raiqwon O’Neal and Reggie Sutton earn All-Big Ten accolades. • Utilized three different quarterbacks in creative ways, with Noah Vedral ranking third in the Big Ten with a 61.5 completion percentage, Johnny Langan rushing for nine first downs in the win at Purdue and Artur Sitkowski leading a game-tying drive to force overtime in the comeback victory over Maryland.

• Gleeson engineered one of the most explosive offenses in the Football Championship Subdivision and helped the Tigers to an undefeated 2018 season. In Gleeson's six years on staff, Princeton won three Ivy League championships and averaged 36.9 points per game, which marked the program's highest output over a six-year stretch in program history. • In addition to posting a perfect 10-0 record in 2018, Princeton led the FCS in scoring offense by averaging 47.0 points per game and ranked in the top 10 nationally in total offense (second with 536.8 yards per game), rushing offense (sixth with 295.5 yards per game), third-down conversion percentage (second with a mark of 53.4 percent) and pass efficiency (seventh with a mark of 161.26). The Tigers' 470 points scored set an Ivy League record. • Coached directly by Gleeson, Tiger quarterback John Lovett excelled as a dual-threat performer to win 2018 Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year. Lovett, who completed 66.1 percent of his passes with 18 touchdowns, led the Ivy League by averaging 303.0 yards of total offense per game, passing for 203.7 yards per game and rushing for 99.3 yards per contest and became Princeton's first two-time first-team All-American since 1964. • Three members of the 2018 Tigers’ offense went on to the NFL. Wide receivers Jesper Horsted (Chicago Bears), also an AllAmerica pick, and Stephen Carlson (Cleveland Browns) joined Lovett (signed with Kansas City Chiefs, spent 2020 with Green Bay Packers) moving to the next level.

• Smith spent the 2013 season as linebackers coach for Schiano in Tampa Bay, which included coaching Lavonte David. An All-Pro, David became the first linebacker and third player since the sack became an official statistic in 1982 to register at least 100 tackles with at least six sacks and five or more interceptions in a season.
RECORDS & RESULTS
RECENT EXPERIENCE
• Smith spent the 2019 season as a defensive analyst with Texas A&M and prior to that, served as the defensive coordinator at Minnesota during the 2017 and 2018 seasons. • The Golden Gophers allowed a total of 274 points in 2017, the fewest permitted by the team since 2004. Smith also worked with the linebackers and saw Thomas Barber earn All-Big Ten Third Team honors after posting 115 tackles. • Smith came to Minnesota from Arkansas, where he spent three seasons as the defensive coordinator and secondary coach. His defense ranked No. 10 in both scoring defense (19.2 points per game) and total defense (323.4 yards per game) in 2014. It was the first time since Arkansas joined the SEC in 1992 that the Razorbacks had finished in the top 10 in either statistic. In addition, Arkansas became the first unranked team in college football history to post back-to-back shutouts of ranked opponents when the Razorbacks blanked No. 20 LSU and No. 8 Ole Miss in November. In 2015, Smith's unit excelled against the run, as Arkansas held 12-of-13 opponents below their season rushing average. The Razorbacks allowed only 116.46 yards per game on the ground, which ranked second in the Southeastern Conference and 12th in the nation. Then in 2016, Smith's defense was at its best in the second half of games, as Arkansas allowed only 51 points in the third quarter and 73 in the fourth quarter.
2020 REVIEW
RUTGERS
• Led a defense that gained 19 turnovers, most in a season for the team since 2012 when he was previously RU defensive coordinator, and an increase of 10 from the preceding season. That included at least one takeaway in eight games, multiple in four games and at least four two times highlighted by seven (most for Rutgers in a game since 2000) in the season-opening win at Michigan State. • Rutgers led the Big Ten and ranked No. 11 nationally with 7.8 tackles-forloss per game. Had three games in double figures with a high of 13 in the win at Maryland. Rutgers posted 21 sacks, most in a Big Ten season and an increase of eight from the previous season. • Saw linebacker Olakunle Fatukasi (first team) and Tre Avery (third team) earn All-Big Ten honors to mark the first time the Scarlet Knights had multiple defensive All-Big Ten selections in the same season. Seven additional players on the defense secured honorable mention status.
FIRST RUTGERS STINT
• Smith served in various capacities on the Rutgers staff, including defensive coordinator and secondary coach in 2012, special teams coordinator and linebackers coach in 2011, special teams coordinator and cornerbacks coach in 2010 and special teams coordinator and outside linebackers coach in 2009. The 2012 season saw Rutgers claim its first conference title since 1961 and the fifth in school history. The Scarlet Knights finished the year ranked fourth in the nation in points allowed per game (14.2), sixth in rushing yards allowed per game (95.2), 10th in total defense (311.6 yards per game) and tied for third in rushing touchdowns allowed (6). Rutgers allowed just 91 points against seven Big East opponents, ranking as the eighth-lowest total in conference history. The defense held opponents to 95.2 rushing yards per game, only the third time in school history the Scarlet Knights kept the opponent average below 100 yards. • Under Smith's guidance, Rutgers became one of the best special teams units in college football. While Smith was at Rutgers, the Scarlet Knights led the nation with 31 blocked kicks.

• Oversaw kick return units that scored three touchdowns (two kickoff, one punt). Rutgers finished as one of four teams nationally, and only in the Big Ten, to reach the mark and one of 10 teams in the country with at least one kickoff and one punt return score. Rutgers led the Big Ten and ranked No. 16 nationally with 25.73 yards per kickoff return. • Aron Cruickshank earned the Big Ten Rodgers-Dwight Return Specialist of the Year and First Team All-Big Ten by the media and coaches, and was named honorable mention All-America as a kick returner by Phil Steele. He was one of four players tied for the nation's lead, and the only in the Big Ten, with two kickoff return touchdowns (100 yards at Purdue, 98 yards versus Nebraska). Cruickshank picked up 671 combined kick returns yards to rank fourth nationally and first in the conference. • Reset the school record with a net punt of 42.27, second in the Big Ten and eighth nationally. Punter Adam Korsak earned Second Team All-Big Ten after averaging 43 yards per game (fourth-best in a season in program history) with eight attempts of at least 50 yards, 22 fair catches forced, 21 inside the 20 and no touchbacks. • Two kickers (Valentino Ambrosio & Guy Fava) with zero prior field goal attempts combined to go 11-for-13, with Ambrosio kicking a tying field goal as time expired and later the game-winner in overtime to beat Maryland. Long snapper Billy Taylor selected Second Team All-Big Ten by Phil Steele, earned Big Ten Sportsmanship Award and was a semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy.
RECENT EXPERIENCE
UNIVERSITY
• Scheier spent the 2019 season as senior special teams consultant at Mississippi State, as the Bulldogs earned a spot in the Music City Bowl. In 2018, he served as Texas Tech's special teams coordinator, earning a Broyles Award nomination, and overlapped with head coach Greg Schiano on the 2017 Ohio State staff. • In 2018, Scheier served as special teams coordinator at Texas Tech and merited a Broyles Award nomination. The Red Raiders were one of only three schools nationally that produced a semifinalist for both the Lou Groza Award and the Ray Guy Award. Kicker Clayton Hatfield was named First Team All-Big 12 with 106 points and ranked sixth nationally in field goal percentage (.895). Punter Dominic Panazzolo, who downed 21 boots inside the 20-yard line, and returner De'Quan Bowman, who placed fourth in the country with 906 combined kick return yards, both earned honorable mention All-Big 12 status. • Scheier arrived in Lubbock after spending the 2017 season at Ohio State, where he served as a special teams quality control coach. In that role, he worked closely with head coach Urban Meyer on game-planning, scheme development, opponent scouting and personnel for a team that won the Big Ten Championship Game and finished No. 5 in the AP Poll.
WAKE FOREST/BOWLING GREEN
• Scheier helped build several of the nation's top special teams units during his three years at Wake Forest, as the Demon Deacons ranked fourth nationally in net punting during his first season in 2014 and then eighth in 2015. Wake Forest led the ACC each of those two seasons and also ranked 13th nationally for kickoff coverage in 2014. Punter Alex Kinal became a two-time semifinalist for the Ray Guy Award and ended his tenure at Wake Forest ranked fourth all-time in career punting (41.8 yards per punt). • Scheier, who was also the tight ends coach at Wake Forest and Bowling Green, was instrumental in the development of Freshman All-American Cam Serigne, who set the Wake Forest single-season record for receptions by a tight end as just a redshirt freshman in 2014 and ended as the school's all-time career leader for both receptions and receiving yards by a tight end. • Scheier was similarly successful during his stint at Bowling Green, as the Falcons regularly ranked among the top special teams units in the Mid-American Conference (MAC). During his five-year tenure, Bowling Green blocked 16 kicks, returned three kickoffs for a touchdown and added four more touchdowns via punts during that span alone.

PRINCETON
HISTORY & TRADITION UNIVERSITY
• Aurich was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2019, after spending the previous three seasons (2016-18) as offensive line coach at Princeton. • In his first season leading the offense, Aurich guided the Tigers to a second-ranked rushing offense with 164.7 yards per game and ranked third in scoring offense, total offense and passing offense. Seven players on the Tigers' offense earned All-Ivy League accolades, including first-team selection Alex Deters. • In 2018, Princeton boasted the top rushing offense in the conference with 295.5 yards per game and the second-best passing offense at 241.3 passing yards. The offensive line tied for second in the Ivy for the fewest sacks allowed that season. During a perfect 10-0 season, the Tigers led the FCS in scoring offense with 47.0 points per game and finished second in total offense and sixth in rushing offense. The offense broke its previous 2013 record to become the highest scoring offense in league history. Three lineman earned all-league recognition, including first-team honors for both George Attea and Reily Radosevich. • Since being named offensive line coach, Aurich helped 12 linemen to All-Ivy League honors, including Mitchell Sweigart, who became the first Tiger since 2001 to receive back-to-back First Team All-Ivy League selection in 2017. • During a two-year span from 2017-18, Princeton ranked in the top 15 in the country in fewest sacks allowed and the Tigers were in the top five in the country with the fewest tackles-for-loss allowed. • In 2017, Aurich was also elevated to associate head coach and continued to serve as the program's recruiting coordinator. • Princeton captured three Ivy League Championships during his tenure with the Tigers and was part of an offensive staff that averaged 36.9 points per game, the program's highest offensive output over a six-year stretch. • Aurich took over the offensive line prior to the 2016 season, and he helped guide Princeton to an unprecedented three-year run. In 2016, he helped Princeton win the Ivy League title and produce the league's leading scoring (34.6), total (415.5), and rushing (183.2) units. • Prior to taking over the offensive line, Aurich spent three seasons coaching the tight ends from 2013-15. In that time, he also served as the special teams coordinator for two years from 2014-15. Aurich was hired as the running back coach for the Tigers in 2011 where he mentored Chuck Dibilio, the first true freshman in the Ivy League to rush for more than 1,000 yards in a season.
2020 REVIEW
• Rutgers posted a program-best 26.7 points per game in a Big Ten season in 2020. The Scarlet Knights scored at least 20 points in eight games after reaching the mark five times the previous four seasons and 12 times in the first 52 Big Ten games. The 26.7 points per game ranked eighth in the Big Ten, improving from No. 14 the preceding season, as the previous best ranking in Big Ten-only games was 11th. • Rutgers finished as the fourth-most improved team in the nation by scoring offense (+13.4 points per game). The Scarlet Knights scored 81 more points than in 2019 (playing three fewer games), the sixth-best improvement in the nation in total points scored (the five higher teams all played 12 games). In addition, RU was the most improved in the Big Ten in total touchdowns scored (+12) and offensive touchdowns (+9). • Molded an offensive line that entered 2020 with only one returning starter, and of the six other lineman who made starts, three had never started an FBS game, two had less than two starts and another had only four. • Helped LT Raiqwon O’Neal (media) and RT Reggie Sutton (coaches) both earn All-Big Ten honorable mention.
PLAYING EXPERIENCE
• A native of St. Paul, Minnesota, Aurich is a graduate of Princeton where he helped to turn the program around during his playing days. After going 2-8 season his sophomore year, he moved into the starting lineup and led the Tigers to a 5-5 record in 2004 and a 7-3 record in 2005. The seven wins during his senior year marked the most at Princeton for more than a decade.

EAST LANSING, Mich. – Behind a dominant defensive effort and an opportunistic scoring attack, Rutgers football downed Michigan State, 38-27, on Saturday afternoon in East Lansing to open the 2020 season. The Scarlet Knights – who never trailed in the road matchup and limited the Spartans to just one trip inside the red zone – scored 21 points off seven takeaways to deliver Greg Schiano his first win since returning as head coach. A staple during Schiano's first tenure "On the Banks," RU's defense flourished against MSU. Rutgers' seven takeaways (six on defense and one on special teams) were the most in a conference game since it joined the Big Ten in 2014 and most overall since 2000. The Scarlet Knights generated 12 tackles-for-loss – which included two sacks from defensive end Mohamed Toure – and picked off Rocky Lombardi twice with interceptions from cornerback Tre Avery and safety Brendon White. Noah Vedral made his first start at quarterback for Rutgers and finished 18-of-29 with 169 yards and a 14-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Shameen Jones. Vedral scored one of four rushing touchdowns for the Scarlet Knights, as running back Isaih Pacheco (two touchdowns) and quarterback Johnny Langan (one rushing score) also found paydirt to help Rutgers secure its fourth win all time against MSU. The 11-point win tied for the largest margin of victory on the road in Big Ten action since Rutgers defeated Illinois, 35-24, on Oct. 14, 2017 in Champaign.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Rutgers football recorded its second Big Ten Conference road win of the season, downing Purdue, 37-30, on Saturday night in West Lafayette, Indiana. The Scarlet Knights set a Big Ten program record with 26 first downs and produced five touchdowns against the Boilermakers, including two passes from quarterback Artur Sitkowski to wide receiver Shameen Jones, to earn the road victory at Ross-Ade Stadium.

In a game that featured seven lead changes, RU produced three touchdowns – two rushing from wide receiver Bo Melton and one receiving by running back Isaih Pacheco – against the Terrapins. On defense, Rutgers added two turnovers with interceptions from defensive backs Christian Izien and Naijee Jones. The front seven register seven sacks – including three from defensive end Mike Tverdov – to set a Big Ten program record for sacks in a conference game.

Rutgers led the Big Ten and ranked No. 11 nationally with 7.8 tackles-for-loss per game. Rutgers posted 21 sacks, most in a Big Ten season (previous best was 16 in 2014). An increase of eight from the previous season.
HISTORY & TRADITION

Rutgers posted a program-best 26.7 points per game in a Big Ten season (previous best 21.2 in 2015). The Scarlet Knights scored at least 20 points in eight games after reaching the 20-plus mark five times the previous four seasons and 12 times in the first 52 Big Ten games. The 26.7 points per game ranked eighth in the Big Ten, improving from No. 14, as the previous best ranking in Big Ten-only games was 11th in 2014. Rutgers was the fourth-most improved team in the nation by scoring offense (+13.4 points per game). In addition, the Scarlet Knights scored 81 more points than in 2019 (playing three fewer games), the sixth-best improvement in the nation in total points scored (the five higher team all played 12 games). In addition, RU was the most improved in the Big Ten total touchdowns scored (+12) and offensive touchdowns (+9). Rutgers averaged over 300 yards per game in a Big Ten season for the first time since 2015. The increase of 66 yards per game overall was the best improvement among Big Ten teams in 2020. The 3,052 yards of total offense was 1,172 more than the previous year in Big Ten play.

2020 REVIEW
•
RU matched the program high with three Big Ten victories, all on the road. The Scarlet Knights had three Big Ten road victories combined the previous six seasons. Two of the wins came when trailing at halftime, as the team only had two such comeback Big Ten wins previously since joining the conference. The Scarlet Knights had 14 players recognized in the All-Big Ten voting, the most for the program since joining the league. The previous high was eight total honorees in 2017. That includes four on the top-three teams in 2020 after totaling six combined the previous six years in the Big Ten and two over the last four seasons. One of two teams in the Big Ten to play all nine games and the first time in program history playing nine conference games in nine weeks. Saw 46 student-athletes earn Academic All-Big Ten honors, the most for the program since joining the conference. Rutgers football posted its highest GPA ever as a program during the spring 2020 semester.

HISTORY & TRADITION
“Old” Rutgers Stadium Dedicated on November 5, 1938 at the Rutgers-Princeton game, the Stadium had its first game two weeks earlier as Rutgers hosted Hampden-Sydney. The season finale against Lafayette was the third game in the Stadium. Rutgers won all three contests and did not lose at the site until the sixth game in 1940, a 7-6 loss to Lafayette. Rutgers won the first 13 Stadium games, including seven straight in 1939. Years Record 1938-1992 168-53-4

NOV. 6, 1869: THE FIRST GAME
THE FIRST GAME
2020 REVIEW RECORDS & RESULTS
Rutgers and Princeton played the first game of intercollegiate football on Nov. 6, 1869, on a plot of ground where the present-day Rutgers gymnasium now stands in New Brunswick, N.J. Rutgers won that first game, 6-4.
“To describe the varying fortunes of the match, game by game, would be a waste of labor for every game was like the one before,” wrote the student reporter. “There was the same headlong running, wild shouting, and frantic kicking.
The game was played with two teams of 25 men each under rugby-like rules, but like modern football, it was “replete with surprise, strategy, prodigies of determination and physical prowess,” to use the words of one of the Rutgers players.
“To sum up, Princeton had the most muscle, but didn’t kick very well, and wanted organization. They evidently don’t like to kick the ball on the ground. Our men, on the other hand, though comparatively weak, ran well, and kicked well throughout. But their great point was the organization, for which great praise is due to the captain. The right men were always in the right place.”
At 3 p.m. on that memorable afternoon, the 50 competitors and about 100 spectators gathered on the field. To distinguish themselves from the bareheaded visitors, 50 Rutgers students, including players, donned scarlet-colored scarves which they converted into turbans.
HISTORY & TRADITION UNIVERSITY
Events leading up to the game were described by John W. Herbert, Rutgers ’72, who was one of the players: “To appreciate this game to the fullest you must know something of its background,” Herbert wrote in 1933. “The two colleges were, and still are, of course, about 20 miles apart. The rivalry between them was intense. For years each had striven for possession of an old Revolutionary cannon, making night forays and lugging it back and forth time and again. Not long before the first football game, the canny Princetonians had settled this competition in their own favor by ignominiously sinking the gun in several feet of concrete. In addition to this, I regret to report, Princeton had beaten Rutgers in baseball by the harrowing score of 40-2. Rutgers longed for a chance to square things.” A challenge for the game was issued by Rutgers. Three games were to be played that year. The first, played at New Brunswick, was won by Rutgers. Princeton won the second game, but cries of “over-emphasis” prevented the third game in football’s first year when faculties of both institutions protested on the grounds that the games were interfering with student studies. An analytical account of the game appeared in the November, 1869 issue of The Targum, Rutgers’ undergraduate newspaper.

One of the Princeton players, William Preston Lane, in 1933 contended in a newspaper interview that Rutgers “ran us Princeton men out of town. I never found out why they did that,” he related. “But we don’t ask any questions. When we saw them coming after us, we ran to the outskirts of New Brunswick and got into our carriages and wagons and went away as fast as we could.” Lane’s contention is refuted in The Targum account. “After the match the players had an amicable “feed together,” the paper reported. “At 8 o’clock our guests went home, in high good spirits, thirsting to beat us next time, if they can.” Regardless of what actually happened after the first game, football was here to stay. Rutgers got Columbia University started in the grid sport the following season and in a few years most of the colleges and universities in the East were represented on the gridiron.

THE HISTORY OF RUTGERS FOOTBALL
The eight wins of 1891 were not matched until Rutgers went 8-1 in 1947 with one of the most successful teams of coach Harvey Harman in the Golden Era immediately following World War II. That team, quarterbacked by Frank Burns, who would later become Rutgers’ most successful coach, lost its opener to Columbia and then swept through eight-straight opponents.
Harman, however, was replaced by former coach Harry Rockafeller during World War II. His tenure included an 8-1 season in 1947 when Rutgers, dominated by WWII veterans, registered a combined record of 27-7 from 1945-48. When John Steigman coached Rutgers from 1956-59, he brought back the single-wing formation to the Scarlet Knight offense, and led Rutgers to an 8-1 mark in 1958. The only loss of that season, 13-12 to the Quantico Marines, came when All-American tailback Billy Austin had to miss a game due to a broken hand.
UNIVERSITY
However, those historic moments were difficult to predict during the early years when intercollegiate football scheduling was inconsistent. For example, Rutgers won six of 10 games in 1882, but played only one game in 1885. Similarly, the Scarlet Knights went 8-6 in 1891, but two years later played only four games. By the early 1900s, scheduling had become more consistent and football became more popular across the country.
1925-1960: Making a Mark on the Collegiate Landscape Harvey Harman also had a successful first season, going 7-1 in 1938, the year Rutgers dedicated the original Rutgers Stadium. Rutgers won the dedication game, 20-18, over Princeton.
HISTORY & TRADITION
Entering its 152nd season in 2021, Rutgers has had many historical moments, outstanding athletes and memorable triumphs over the years.
Those two seasons, which featured All-American Paul Robeson, were among Rutgers’ best. The Scarlet Knights outscored opponents by an average of 44-3 in 1915 and 33-2 in 1917. Sanford, a member of Rutgers’ Hall of Fame, also helped to introduce Rutgers to the New York metropolitan area, playing games at the Polo Grounds against teams like Notre Dame, Nebraska, Louisiana State and West Virginia. A few years later, in 1924, two-time All-America end and fullback Homer Hazel helped coach John Wallace continue the tradition of first-year coaching success, as Rutgers posted a 7-1-1 mark.
RECORDS & RESULTS
1869-1912: The Birthplace of College Football When Rutgers defeated Princeton in 1869, the setting was quite different than it is today. The game was contested on a field along College Avenue in New Brunswick. There were not tens of thousands of cheering fans in a multi-million dollar stadium. There was no manicured grass field or electronic scoreboard. There was no elaborate athletic equipment or television cameras. But on that fall day in 1869, those students established a tradition of quality football programs, competitiveness and school spirit that continues at Rutgers, the birthplace of intercollegiate football.
1913-1925: 'A Tradition of Success Begins' In 1913, coach George Foster Sanford began a tradition of success among Rutgers coaches in their inaugural year by leading his team to a 6-3 mark. He then flirted with two perfect seasons, improving the team to 7-1 in 1915 and 7-1-1 in 1917.

1961-1972: RU's First Undefeated Season Another first-year coach got off to an impressive start when John Bateman went 8-1 in 1960. That campaign was followed by Rutgers’ first undefeated season in 1961, when the team went 9-0, capping the season with a fourth-quarter, 25-point comeback win over Columbia. That team included All-American center Alex Kroll, and was ranked 15th nationally. In his 11 seasons, Bateman led Rutgers to 73 wins in 124 games.

1973-1983: The Burns Era & 1976 In 1973, Frank Burns took the reins of Rutgers football and became the most successful Rutgers coach ever by building teams recognized for fundamentals and defense. Burns himself was also known as a fierce linebacker and won the Most Valuable Player Award in the 1949 College All-Star game, when he made 17 tackles against the New York Giants. The Burns’ defenses were led by linebackers Ed Steward, Jim Hughes, Jim Dumont and defensive end Nate Toran. Burns’ first team went 6-5, while running back “JJ” Jennings rushed for 1,353 yards (third in Rutgers history) and 21 touchdowns (second).
UNIVERSITY
Over the next five seasons, Burns’ teams won at least seven games each season, including a five-season stretch from 197579 when Rutgers’ winning percentage was .803 with a record of 45-11. The jewel in the crown of Burns’ tenure as Rutgers’ coach was the 1976 season, when the team was perfect at 110, establishing the best season ever at Rutgers. During Burns’ 11 seasons at Rutgers, the Scarlet Knights won nearly twothirds of their games (78-44). He also took Rutgers to its first bowl appearance – the Garden State Bowl – at Giants Stadium against Arizona State in 1978.
Anderson won seven of 10 games in his inaugural season. Other highlights of his years at Rutgers include upset wins over such nationally-ranked teams as Penn State and Michigan State, and a nationally-televised victory over Northwestern in the program’s 1,000th game. Anderson’s teams produced some of the most exciting players in Rutgers history, including record-breaking passer Scott Erney, career tackles leader Tyronne Stowe (533 from 1983-86) and football/baseball star Eric Young. Anderson’s last game at Rutgers was a memorable one. It was the 1989 Emerald Isle Classic versus Pittsburgh in Dublin, Ireland, the first time a Rutgers team played overseas. 1990-1999: BIG EAST, Big Games Doug Graber became the Scarlet Knights’ 23rd coach in 1990 and placed an emphasis on recruiting the best talent in the state of New Jersey. His first recruiting class included three first team all-state selections and two second-team All-State selections among the 12 recruits from New Jersey. Another major boost for Rutgers came in 1991 when Rutgers joined the Big East Conference and won its first league game over Boston College, 20-13. The team went 13-9 in its first two years in the league, including a 4-2 mark in 1992. The 1994 season celebrated not only the 125 years of college football, but also the return of the newly-renovated and expanded Rutgers Stadium. The return was a welcomed one. Rutgers teams have been at their best at the stadium, compiling a 237-120-4 (.662) record there since 1938. The new stadium has been quite a different setting than that of the first college football game played 130 years ago, as the Scarlet Knights are playing for their own place in history as they continue the college football tradition that was born “On the Banks of the Old Raritan.”
Doubtless, the biggest win of the Burns era was the 13-7 upset of Tennessee on November 3, 1979 in Knoxville. Burns called it “the greatest of my coaching career.” The following year, 1980, Rutgers had one of its great “nearmisses” of its long history when the Scarlet bowed, 17-13, to a highly-favored Alabama team coached by Bear Bryant at Giants Stadium. The gracious Bryant said, “We didn’t beat Rutgers. All I can say is we won.”

2000-2005: Schiano's Arrival 1998 Big East Coach of the Year Terry Shea concluded his tenure in 2000, as the Scarlet Knights opted to take the program in a different direction for the 2001 season. On Dec. 1, 2000, Director of Athletics Bob Mulcahy introduced the newest coach in the storied history of Rutgers football, Greg Schiano. Schiano’s first three recruiting classes rejuvenated the football program. In 2003, the team closed strong, upsetting Syracuse, 24-7, in the season finale. In 2004, before the largest crowd ever at the time at Rutgers Stadium (42,612), the Scarlet Knights defeated Michigan State, 19-14.
While the results on the field did not favor Rutgers in 2010, the world was introduced to Eric LeGrand. The junior defensive tackle suffered a spinal cord injury at MetLife Stadium Oct. 16 against Army, but he did not let the condition bring him down. LeGrand has become a public figure and has raised countless dollars towards spinal cord research. He became the first Scarlet Knight in the 144 years of the football program to have his number retired during halftime of the Sept. 14, 2013 game against Eastern Michigan.

Prior to Schiano’s arrival at Rutgers, the Scarlet Knights had never fielded a receiver who had gained 1,000 yards in a season. In 2009, Tim Brown became the fourth during his tenure to eclipse the mark. Brown also became the school’s all-time leader in receiving touchdowns, passing RU’s initial first round draft pick Kenny Britt. RU had two first-round picks in 2010, with Anthony Davis being the highest pick in program history at No. 11 by the San Francisco 49ers. Devin McCourty was selected at No. 27 by the New England Patriots.
HISTORY & TRADITION
The 2008 campaign for the Scarlet Knights started slowly, but the program relied on a strong foundation built by Schiano and together as a family, Rutgers turned in seven consecutive victories to close out the season – culminating in a 29-23 victory over NC State in the PapaJohns.com Bowl. In 2009, the Scarlet Knights saw a number of milestones set en route to a record of 9-4, including a 45-24 victory over UCF in the St. Petersburg Bowl.
RECORDS & RESULTS
The success Rutgers achieved on the field was something Schiano envisioned from the first day he became the leader of the Scarlet Knights. At his introductory press conference, Schiano stated, “We’re going to win at Rutgers and we’re going to do it the right way.” The 2006 season was complete with a convincing 37-10 victory over Kansas State in the Texas Bowl, the first bowl championship in school history. In addition, Brian Leonard was the recipient of the Draddy Trophy, known as the Academic Heisman.
2007-11: Sustained Success The program won eight more games in 2007, including the highest ranked win in program history with a 30-27 victory over No. 2 USF. The season concluded with a dominating 52-30 victory over Ball State at the International Bowl in Toronto. Ray Rice ran for a school-record 280 rushing yards on the day to bring his career total to 4,926, a program high. An All-America pick and Heisman Trophy candidate, the running back also set the Scarlet Knight standards for attempts (910), touchdowns (49) and 100-yard games (25).

2006: Pandemonium in Piscataway In 2006, Schiano was named the National Coach of the Year and Big East Coach of the Year, as the Scarlet Knights earned their first national top-10 ranking in 2006 and won 11 games for the second time in school history. The campaign included a thrilling win 28-25 over No. 3/4 Louisville in front of a Thursday night national audience on ESPN. The comeback victory, with RU overcoming an 18-point deficit, became one of the turning points in modern Rutgers history as fans stormed the field to ignite “Pandemonium in Piscataway.” Rutgers ended the season with a ranking of No. 12 in the national polls.

Flood made an immediate impact on the Rutgers program with a successful first season, as he led the school to its first Big East Championship in 2012, ending with a 9-4 record and 5-2 record in the league. Flood was named the Big East Coach of the Year. Flood’s nine regular season victories were the most by any first-year coach in Rutgers history, as eight players garnered All-Big East honors. Khaseem Greene totaled 136 tackles to earn Big East Defensive Player of the Year for the second consecutive season, in addition to All-America status. The defensive unit was among the best in school history, ranking fourth nationally in scoring defense, tied for ninth in turnovers gained and 10th in total defense.
2014-19: Big Ten - Our New Home On July 1, 2014, Rutgers officially joined the Big Ten Conference to usher in a new era in its deep and storied history.

The Scarlet Knights won their first Big Ten game Oct. 4 over Michigan, with Kemoko Turay leaping to block a potential go-ahead field goal to seal the win and set off a storming of the field. The first road win in conference play came at Maryland after RU erased a 35-10 deficit to win 41-38 in the biggest comeback in school history, which would be matched a year later at Indiana. Senior quarterback Gary Nova threw for 347 yards on a career-best 28 completions in the 2014 win versus the Terrapins, ending his career as the all-time touchdown passing leader (73). The first year in the Big Ten would be capped off with a convincing 40-21 win over North Carolina in the Quick Lane Bowl, hosted by the Detroit Lions. The Scarlet Knights went 8-5 and earned the Lambert-Meadowlands Trophy, emblematic of the top team in the East in the Bowl Subdivision. In the second year in the Big Ten, Leonte Carroo closed his time as a Scarlet Knight with 10 receiving touchdowns to raise his school-record total to 29 over 31 games at the position. He averaged a score once every 4.2 receptions over his career, racking up 2,373 yards to join the list of standout wide receivers.

He parted his dark hair down the middle, in the fashion of the day, and his deep-set eyes glowed with a competitive fire. Homer Hazel, Rutgers’ first Hall of Famer, was, without doubt, the most versatile player the Scarlet ever produced. A natural athlete, Hazel excelled in various sports and was most successful as a track and field star. His speed and quickness served him well, for he once recovered his own kickoff in the enemy end zone for a touchdown. Homer led Rutgers to identical 7-1-1 records in his final two seasons, earning All-America laurels in each. He was an end in 1923, when the only Scarlet loss was to West Virginia (27-7). He had Rutgers on the way to an unbeaten finish in 1924 - this time as a hard-hitting fullback - when Bucknell untracked the Scarlet in the final game of the season, 12-7. During the 1924 campaign, Homer Hazel established school records for most points after a touchdown and longest completed pass. He could do it all. Carrying 226 pounds over a 5-foot-11 frame, Homer lettered in football, basketball, baseball and track at Rutgers. He later served as Athletic Director, football and basketball coach at the University of Mississippi for more than five years. He was a golf pro for four years, and a labor relations manager for more than 20 years. Hazel won his first letter in football at Rutgers in 1916. He left school because of a lack of funds. Hazel worked at various jobs and, at age 28, played football again at Rutgers. Walter Camp named him All-America end in 1923, All-America fullback in 1924. Hazel was born June 2, 1895, and died February 3, 1968.

At the entrance to Rutgers Stadium, inscribed upon a bronze plaque, is a tribute to George Sanford. It was financed and installed by his players, the men “...he inspired to deeds beyond themselves.” Undoubtedly, Sanford was an inspirational leader of men, a gentleman who excelled as both player and coach. Sanford played center on the 1891 and 1892 Yale teams which held each of their 26 opponents scoreless. Though he was never chosen to an All-America team, a 1927 poll named him the all-time Yale center. Sanford began his coaching career at Columbia (1899-1901), called in to revive the football program which had been abandoned after the 1891 campaign. His 1899 team defeated Yale for the first time ever, and it was at Columbia that Sanford developed the famous “Flying Hurdle Play” which saw Harold Weekes catapulted over the line of scrimmage. Moving to Rutgers (1913-23), Sanford had marked success as his club rolled to a 56-32-5 record. He was hailed as a “miracle worker” in 1917, after his Rutgers team beat the heavily-favored Newport Naval Reserve All-Stars, 14-0. Between his teams at Columbia and Rutgers, Sanford devoted his energy toward a successful insurance brokerage business.

Alex Kroll, a consensus All-American center on Rutgers’ first undefeated football team in 1961, is the Scarlet Knights’ sixth inductee into the College Football Hall of Fame, as a part of the Class of 1997. Kroll, a 6-2, 228-pound center and linebacker, was a major force in Rutgers compiling a 17-1 record in his two years of play “On the Banks.” In 1960, the Knights, under coach John Bateman, were 8-1 and followed up with the school’s first undefeated campaign, going 9-0 in 1961. Team captain of the lauded 1961 squad, Kroll was a two-time first-team All-ECAC choice and won first-team All-America honors from the Associated Press, United Press International, Newspaper Enterprise Association, Look, and the American Football Coaches Association. Known as a “coach on the field,” he was credited with making the quarterback sneak an offensive weapon as Rutgers scored seven touchdowns on that play in 1961 with Kroll clearing the way into the end zone for the signal-caller. He was also a first-team All-East choice by the AP in 1961 and played in the North-South game and the Senior Bowl. In 1960, he was an honorable mention All-American. Following his senior season, he was a second-round draft pick of the New York Titans, playing for one season in 1962. Kroll earned a BA in English Literature in 1962 and was a Henry Rutgers Scholar with a perfect grade point average in his major. He received a National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame Post-Graduate Scholarship in 1961. In 1986, he was awarded the Silver Anniversary Award from the National Collegiate Athletic Association for his collegiate achievements. Immediately following his last game with the Titans, he joined the workforce at Young & Rubicam, the world’s largest independent advertising agency, as a copywriter. After a succession of writing and supervisory jobs in the creative department, he was named executive vice president and worldwide creative director in 1970.

Paul Robeson played four years for the famous coach, G. Foster Sanford. Rutgers had a 22-6-3 record in that time. In 31 games, Rutgers scored 941 points to opponents’ 191. Robeson was a powerful contributor to that record. Robeson was a two-time All-America end. Frank Menke named him All-America in 1917 and 1918. Walter Camp picked him in 1918. (Camp did not name an All-America team in 1917.) Following college, Robeson played three years as a pro - 1920 with Hammond, 1921 with Akron and 1922 with Milwaukee - in the American Professional Football League. He obtained his law degree in 1923. At Rutgers, Robeson was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and was valedictorian of the class of 1919. He won the college oratorical contest fourstraight years and gave the commencement address at graduation. Robeson won 12 letters in four sports - four in football, three each in basketball and baseball, and two in track. He stood 6-3 in height and his weight was listed at 191 in early years, at 215 his senior season. This man of many talents became an actor, singer and lecturer. He was on Broadway and in the movies. His rich basso made his signature song “Ol’ Man River” a classic. He starred in plays, such as “The Emperor Jones,” “Othello,” “Showboat,” as well as many others, in the U.S., Europe and Africa. In 1925 he made a recording that sold 55,000 copies in four months. In 1972 he received the Whitney Young Memorial Award. Ebony Magazine called him “one of the 10 most important black men in American history.” Paul Robeson was born April 9, 1898, in Princeton, N.J. His father, Rev. William Robeson, had escaped slavery in 1860 in North Carolina at age 15. His mother, Maria Bustill, was a teacher. When Paul was a high school senior, he won the statewide academic test and received a scholarship to Rutgers. In 1915, he was the third African-American to enter Rutgers and the first to play football. He died January 23, 1976. After his tenure at Rutgers, he became an accomplished actor, singer and lecturer, and was commemorated on a US postal stamp.

It was not surprising that Harman achieved such acclaim, for he learned his football lessons from two of the game’s mentors - Glenn “Pop” Warner and Jock Sutherland - while at Pittsburgh. Harman was a starting tackle for the Panthers before taking his first coaching assignment at Haverford. From there he moved on to Sewanee (the University of the South), Pennsylvania and Rutgers. It was at Rutgers that he had his greatest success, directing the Scarlet Knights to a 26-7-1 record before interrupting his career to serve in the U.S. Navy during World War II. Harman returned to Rutgers after the war and led the Scarlet Knights for another 10 seasons before accepting a position as Executive Director of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame, Inc. In that capacity, Harman became known as the goodwill ambassador for football, continuing to serve the game until his death in 1969. His career record lists a slate of 140-104-7.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – In its first postseason action in program history, Rutgers faced Arizona State at Giants Stadium in the inaugural Garden State Bowl in 1978. The Scarlet Knights pulled ahead in the first half on a touchdown by David Dorn and field goal from Kennan Startzell to take a 10-0 lead. However, the Sun Devils closed the gap just before the end of the first half when Mark Malone found Bob Weathers in the end zone. In the third quarter, Arizona State claimed the lead with two Malone touchdown passes and in the final quarter added another score with a rushing touchdown to make the score 28-10. Ted Blackwell brought the Scarlet Knights to within 10 points with his five-yard rushing touchdown and successful two-point conversion. Rutgers had a final chance to take over the game when an offside kick came bouncing its way, but an offside flag on the kickoff erased the Scarlet Knights' good fortune. Arizona State tacked on two touchdowns to secure the 34-18 victory.

PHOENIX – In a Wild West shootout staged at Phoenix's Chase Stadium, Rutgers fell just short of the program's first bowl victory, losing to Arizona State, 45-40, at the Insight Bowl. RU scored the game’s first touchdown on a pass from Ryan Hart to Clark Harris, but ASU quickly responded with a TD of its own, evening the game at 7-7. Both teams traded a number of scores, but back-to-back touchdowns in the fourth quarter helped ASU to a 45-33 lead and the eventual victory. Rutgers engineered a 63-yard touchdown drive in the final 51 seconds, but it was not enough as the Sun Devils held on for the 45-40 win.

HOUSTON – Rutgers' most memorable season ended with another milestone victory. Ray Rice rushed for 170 yards and a touchdown and Tim Brown caught two touchdown passes, and the 16th-ranked Scarlet Knights won a bowl game for the first time, beating Kansas State in the Texas Bowl, 37-10. Linebacker Quintero Frierson returned an interception 27 yards for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage of the second half and Rutgers cruised from there, earning an 11th victory for the second time in the school's history. Rice was named the game's Most Valuable Player after topping 100 yards for the 10th time this season and the 15th time in 25 career games. The 5-foot-9, 195-pound sophomore went over 150 yards for the fifth time this season. The Scarlet Knights' seventh-ranked defense manhandled Kansas State's offense, holding the Wildcats to 160 total yards and six first downs. Freshman quarterback Josh Freeman finished 10-for-21 for 124 yards with two interceptions. Kansas State mustered only 94 yards after Frierson's return of Freeman's first interception put Rutgers up 24-10 only 33 seconds out of halftime.

TORONTO – In its third-consecutive bowl game, Rutgers pulled off another program milestone with its second-straight postseason victory as the Scarlet Knights defeated Ball State, 52-30. Ray Rice had one of the finest individual outings in college football history, rushing for a career-high 280 yards and four touchdowns en route to being named the International Bowl's Most Valuable Player, his second-consecutive MVP honor in a bowl game. Rice's 280 yards were the third-most rushing yards in NCAA bowl history. He entered the game with 1,732 yards on the ground and ended his season with 2,012 yards rushing to become the 13th player in NCAA history to amass more than 2,000 yards. The rushing total also set a Big East and school single-season record. The 52 points scored were the most in Rutgers' bowl history. Including both individual and team marks, RU set a total of nine bowl records at the International Bowl.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Fitting that Rutgers would end the 2008 season with a comefrom-behind win. After winning only one of their first six games, Mike Teel and the Scarlet Knights erased an 11-point second half deficit to defeat North Carolina State in the PapaJohns.com Bowl, 29-23. Leading the comeback -- as he did all season -was Teel, who passed for 319 yards and two touchdowns, including a 42-yard scoring toss to Kenny Britt to give the Scarlet Knights the lead for good in the fourth quarter. Teel's pass to Britt with 8:30 to play proved to be the winning touchdown. Britt, a third-team All-American, made a juggling catch as he crossed the goal line and finished with six catches for 119 yards. Teel, a senior, was the game's most valuable player. He ended his career on a seven-game winning streak. NC State held a 17-6 halftime edge, led by quarterback Russell Wilson who was 11-for-23 for 186 yards and a score. But Wilson left the game with a strained knee late in the first half and did not return. The Scarlet Knights scored 10 consecutive points in the third quarter on a 31-yard field goal by San San Te and an 11-yard pass from Teel to Tiquan Underwood. Rutgers took a 19-17 lead with 13:31 to play on a 28-yard field by Te after a 10-play 70-yard drive. The Wolfpack came right back as reserve quarterback Daniel Evans drove them 64 yards in eight plays and hit Anthony Hill with a 16-yard touchdown pass to give NC State a 23-19 lead. But it was only two plays later when Teel hit Britt for the go-ahead score.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Rutgers capped off its fifth-straight bowl appearance with its fourth-consecutive bowl victory, defeating Central Florida, 45-24, in the 2009 St. Petersburg Bowl at Tropicana Field. The Scarlet Knights showed a great display of balance in all three phases of the game, recording touchdowns on offensive, defensive and special teams. RU ended the night with two rushing touchdowns, two passing touchdowns, one interception and one kickoff returned for scores. Rutgers gained 380 yards of total offense behind a career passing day from freshman quarterback Tom Savage who completed 14-of-27 passes for 294 yards and two touchdowns. Fellow true freshman Mohamed Sanu also enjoyed a career-best evening as he accounted for three of RU's five touchdowns. Sanu had 13 carries for 41 yards and a pair of touchdowns, in addition to catching four passes for 97 yards and a touchdown. For his performance Sanu was awarded the Most Outstanding Player trophy, joining past bowl honorees Ray Rice (2006 Texas Bowl, 2008 International Bowl) and Mike Teel (2008 PapaJohns.com Bowl).

BRONX, N.Y. – Chas Dodd hit Brandon Coleman for an 86-yard touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter and Jawan Jamison ran for two scores to lead Rutgers over Iowa State, 27-13, in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl. The Scarlet Knights ran their bowl winning streak to five and improved to 2-0 this season at Yankee Stadium, where they beat Army earlier in the season. Rutgers, which played in one bowl game before 2005, is 5-1 in the postseason since that season. The Cyclones finished the season on a three-game losing streak, their last win coming on Nov. 18 in Ames, Iowa, when they pulled off the biggest upset of the season against No. 2 Oklahoma State. In this game, Steele Jantz relieved Barnett in the second quarter and helped pull the Cyclones within 20-13 in the fourth on Jeff Woody’s 20-yard touchdown run with 10:00 left. After an exchange of punts left Rutgers deep in its own end, Dodd went deep to Coleman. The 6-foot-6 redshirt freshman went over 5-7 cornerback Jeremy Reeves, then outran the corner to the end zone to make it 27-13 with 5:47 left. It was Coleman’s only catch, but it turned out to be the play of the game. Jamison, another redshirt freshman giving Rutgers fans hope for more bowls to come, finished with 131 yards on 27 carries.

ORLANDO – Rutgers saw its 2012 season come to an end with a 13-10 overtime loss to Virginia Tech in the Russell Athletic Bowl in Orlando. The loss ended the Scarlet Knights’ bowl win streak at five, which had previously been the longest active streak in the nation. In the 15th meeting between the two squads, Rutgers held a 10-0 lead heading into the fourth quarter. The Scarlet Knights scored first on a ball that was snapped over Virginia Tech quarterback Logan Thomas and recovered in the end zone by Rutgers linebacker Khaseem Greene on the opening drive. An RU field goal by Nick Borgese late in the opening quarter would be the final points until the last stanza. In the fourth, the Hokies were able to tie it up. In the first overtime possession, the Hokies settled for a 22-yard field goal to take a 13-10 lead. Rutgers had a possession to answer, but after going three-and-out, Borgese missed wide-right on a 42-yard field goal attempt to end the game. Rutgers finished the year 9-4 and earned a share of the school’s first Big East Championship.

BRONX, N.Y. – A 47-yard field goal by Kyle Federico brought Rutgers within three with less than nine minutes remaining, but 10 unanswered points by Notre Dame iced the contest, as the Irish defeated the Scarlet Knights, 29-16, in the 2013 Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium. It was the eighth bowl trip in nine seasons for Rutgers. A Pinstripe Bowl record crowd of 47,122 watched a back-and-forth affair for the majority of the contest, with neither team leading by more than one possession until late in the fourth quarter. Brandon Coleman led RU in receiving with two catches for 65 yards and a touchdown, while Paul James logged 48 yards on 10 rushing attempts. Coleman’s touchdown late in the first quarter was the 20th of his career, tying him for the school record. Federico converted all three of his field goal attempts.

DETROIT – In control from the outset, Rutgers thoroughly dominated North Carolina, 40-21, in the Quick Lane Bowl at Ford Field, turning in one of its stronger performances of the year to finish the 2014 campaign at 8-5. Quarterback Gary Nova threw two touchdown passes, freshmen running backs Josh Hicks and Robert Martin proved to be a dynamic 1-2 punch in the running game, with each topping 100 yards rushing, and the Scarlet Knights' defense quieted the most productive offense in North Carolina history for all but the final 6:45 of the game. The Scarlet Knights jumped out to a 23-0 lead at halftime, sparked by a 34-yard touchdown pass from Nova to Andre Patton on the first drive of the game. Hicks and Martin both added rushing scores to pad the lead, with Kyle Federico connecting from 19 yards away with 11 seconds left in the second quarter. Nova, who finished 9-of-20 for 184 yards, pushed the Scarlet Knights' 23-0 halftime lead to 30-7 with his second touchdown pass - this one a 34yard strike to Andrew Turzilli - with 7:33 left in the third quarter. The advantage grew to 37-7 on Martin's 28-yard touchdown run with 14:11 to play. Federico tacked on a 31-yard field goal with 10:04 remaining to make it 40-7. Martin and Hicks joined Ray Rice (three times) and Jawan Jamison as the only Rutgers backs to rush for 100 yards in a bowl game. Martin (19 carries for 100 yards and two touchdowns) and Hicks (202 yards and one touchdown on 19 carries) also joined Rice as the only true freshmen to reach 100 in a bowl for the Scarlet Knights. Hicks was named MVP of the game for his efforts. The rushing totals for both Martin and Hicks were career highs, with Rutgers' 340 rushing yards overall the most in program history in a bowl game and the highest total of the season.

PAT HOBBS
DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS
SCARLET KNIGHTS COACHING STAFF 2020 REVIEW RECORDS & RESULTS HISTORY & TRADITION UNIVERSITY

A New Jersey native with more than 25 years of leadership experience in higher education and public service, Pat Hobbs enters his seventh year as the Director of Athletics at Rutgers University. Outlined in "The Relentless Pursuit of Excellence," a strategic vision for Rutgers Athletics has taken course under Hobbs with a clearly defined core purpose, values and priorities. Navigating the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 global pandemic tested the mettle for the entire Rutgers athletic department. The grit and determination showed throughout, from a dedicated medical team working tirelessly to institute healthy practices and keep the Scarlet Knights in competition, to support staff who rose to the occasion ensuring a well-functioning campus. Through the ups and downs, the Scarlet Knights achieved success on all fronts, reaching record heights athletically and academically to move another step closer to Hobbs’ ultimate vision to write the “next great chapter in Rutgers Athletics history.” In a season where competitions were largely scheduled against Big Ten opponents due to the pandemic, the Scarlet Knights posted their best conference winning percentage since joining the league in 2014. Rutgers had eight programs ranked during the 2020-21 season and six teams advance to NCAA postseason play. RU also had four sports with individual competitors in their respective NCAA Championships. Men's basketball punched its ticket to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 30 years, while women's basketball made its 26th NCAA Tournament as a program. Women's soccer earned its ninth-straight bid to the NCAA Tournament, while the men's and women's lacrosse programs each qualified for postseason play. The men's team advanced to the quarterfinals and the women's squad competed in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1999. Rowing also made its second-straight NCAA Championships, posting its highest finish in program history (seventh). Wrestling had five Scarlet Knights advance to the NCAA Tournament, including two championship semifinalists. Gymnastics sent a representative to the national meet for the third time in program history. Track and field qualified 12 Scarlet Knights in 10 events for the NCAA East Regional and men's golf sent its first representative since 2005 to compete in the NCAA Regional. The success of the 2020-21 season led to Rutgers earning a 60th-place showing in the final Learfield Director’s Cup, the programs second-best finish in school history and highest mark since the 2006-07 season. A harbinger of things to come for the men’s basketball program could be seen during the 2019-20 season as the Scarlet Knights posted their first 20-win season in 37 years and a ranking in the Top-25 poll for the first time in 41 years. Men’s basketball sat on the cusp of earning its first NCAA Tournament berth since 1991 before the shutdown of March Madness due to the pandemic. A record 10 sold-out games at the RAC in 2019-20 are evidence of the energy and excitement for the program under head coach Steve Pikiell.
SCARLETKNIGHTS.COM
National Championship banners were hoisted to the rafters during Hobbs’ tenure with All-American wrestlers Anthony Ashnault and Nick Suriano claiming the first NCAA individual national titles in program history. The pair led a number of NCAA postseason trips in 2018-19. Women’s basketball posted a 22-10 record and made its 25th NCAA Tournament berth, while women’s soccer garnered its seventh straight NCAA bid. Then-No. 11 field hockey qualified for its first NCAA Tournament since 1986, and rowing, nationally ranked for the first time in program history, placed 11th at NCAA Championships. In addition, softball competed in the National Invitational Softball Championship, its first non-conference postseason tournament since 1996. Athletics also celebrated its first ever B1G Ten Conference Player of the Year with Chris Gotterup being named for Men’s Golf. Success in the classroom is a hallmark of Rutgers Athletics, ranking above the average APR rate in the NCAA. For the fourth-straight year, the Scarlet Knights achieved a multiyear score of 990 or better and nine programs either tied or set records in multiyear APR rate in 2018-19. A school-record 376 student-athletes were named to Academic All-Big Ten teams, while for the sixth-straight school year, RU set a department record with 188 Scarlet Knights earning Big Ten Distinguished Scholar accolades in 2020-21. The development of capital projects to support these studentathletes is at the forefront of Hobbs’ charge to further the mission of the only Power Five conference program located in the nation’s largest media market. The Gary and Barbara Rodkin Academic Success Center made its grand opening and serves as home to all student-athletes for their academic pursuits. The state-of-the-art facility provides a range of resources, including academic advising, learning specialists, one-on-one and group tutoring, and houses the locker room areas for the men’s and women’s soccer and lacrosse programs, and the athletic department administration. The “Rodkin” follows the RWJBarnabas Health Athletic Performance Center, which opened to the delight of the gymnastics, wrestling, and men’s and women’s basketball programs. In addition to providing world-class practice facilities, training areas, locker rooms and office spaces for those programs, the Center also represents a partnership between Rutgers and RWJBarnabas Health to create a comprehensive sports medicine program to serve Rutgers athletes, students and communities throughout New Jersey. Much of the capital project success can be credited to “R B1G Build,” a comprehensive campaign launched on Jan. 20, 2016 to raise $100 million for new or upgraded facilities.

RECORDS & RESULTS
Enhancing the student-athlete experience is a priority for Hobbs and is laid out in his strategic vision for the athletic department. He placed an emphasis on elevated communication, improved resource allocation and enriched customer service. The Office of Leadership Development and Strategic Partnerships (LDSP) completed an organizational redesign and unit rebrand that redefined its mission and vision.

COMMISSIONER KEVIN WARREN
BIG TEN CONFERENCE Known as one of intercollegiate sports’ most successful undertakings, the Big Ten is home to a lineage of legendary names and an ongoing tradition of developing strong leaders. Even in its infancy, the conference established itself as the preeminent collection of institutions in the nation, where the pursuit of academic excellence prevailed as the definitive goal.
over the last four years. Big Ten schools compete in a total of 42 different sports, furthering the conference’s commitment to broad-based programming and providing more participation opportunities than any conference in the country.
The history of the Big Ten traces back more than 120 years to the Palmer House hotel in Chicago, where on January 11, 1895, then-Purdue president James H. Smart and leaders from the University of Chicago, University of Illinois, University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, Northwestern University and University of Wisconsin set out to organize and develop principles for the regulation of intercollegiate athletics.
One of the conference’s proudest traditions began in 1902 when Michigan took on Stanford in the Rose Bowl, the nation’s first bowl game. Big Ten teams only appeared in Pasadena twice before the conference signed an exclusive contract with the Tournament of Roses in 1946, making it the first bowl game with permanent conference affiliations. But Michigan’s appearance in 1902 cultivated a relationship that has endured for more than a century. In January 2014, Michigan State defeated Stanford in the 100th Rose Bowl Game.
At that meeting, a blueprint for the administration of college athletics under the direction of appointed faculty representatives was outlined. The presidents’ first known action “restricted eligibility for athletics to bonafide, full-time students who were not delinquent in their studies.” That important legislation, along with other legislation that would follow in the coming years, served as the primary building block for intercollegiate athletics.
Coupling the academic goals set forth by the leaders of the charter members of the conference and their steadfast commitment to athletics, the conference instituted the Big Ten Medal of Honor in 1915. It is awarded annually by each conference institution to a student of the graduating class who has attained the greatest proficiency in scholarship and athletics. For more than 100 years, it has been the most prestigious honor a student competing in Big Ten athletics can receive.
On February 8, 1896, one faculty member from each of those seven universities met at the same Palmer House and officially established the mechanics of the conference, which was officially incorporated as the “Intercollegiate Conference Athletic Association” in 1905.
In 1922, Major John L. Griffith became the conference’s first “Commissioner of Athletics.” Griffith was the first of six men to assume the role of commissioner in the conference’s history, followed by Kenneth L. “Tug” Wilson in 1945, Bill Reed in 1961, Wayne Duke in 1971, Jim Delany in 1989, and current commissioner Kevin Warren in 2020.
Indiana University and the State University of Iowa became the eighth and ninth members in 1899. In 1908, Michigan briefly withdrew its membership, and in 1912 Ohio State University joined the conference, bringing its membership total back to nine. Upon Michigan’s return in 1917, the conference was first referred to as the “Big Ten” by media members, and that name was eventually incorporated in 1987.
After nearly 30 years with 10 members, the conference consolidated to nine schools when the University of Chicago formally withdrew its membership in 1946. Michigan State College (now Michigan State University) was added to the Big Ten three years later, bringing the number of affiliated conference schools to 10 once again.
As the 1900s opened, faculty representatives established rules for intercollegiate athletics that were novel for the time. As early as 1904, the faculty approved legislation that required eligible athletes to meet entrance requirements and to have completed a full year’s work, along with having one year of residence.
In 1955, the Big Ten formulated a revenue-sharing model designed to pool all football television rights of its members and share those proceeds equally. The conference and its members continue to utilize a revenue-sharing model, dividing media rights, bowl payouts and other profits among all conference institutions.
In 1901, the first Big Ten Championship event was staged when the outdoor track and field championships were held at the University of Chicago. The debut event marked what is now a staple of conference competition. Today, the Big Ten sponsors 28 official sports, 14 for men and 14 for women, including the addition of men’s ice hockey and men’s and women’s lacrosse
While academics have always played an integral role in the conference, presidents of the Big Ten member institutions formalized the primacy of academics with the establishment of the Big Ten Academic Alliance (formerly the Committee on Institutional Cooperation) in 1958. The Big Ten Academic Alliance is an academic consortium of all Big Ten universities. An-

nually, the schools currently constituting the Big Ten Academic Alliance produced over $10 billion in funded research, $5 billion more than any other conference.
In December of 1989, the conference agreed in principle to invite Pennsylvania State University for membership. On June 4, 1990, the Council of Presidents officially voted to integrate Penn State into the conference, giving the Big Ten 11 members.
On June 3, 2013, the Big Ten announced that Johns Hopkins University had been accepted as the conference’s first sport affiliate member. Johns Hopkins’ addition in men’s lacrosse gave the Big Ten six institutions sponsoring the sport, allowing the debut of men’s lacrosse as an official conference sport and building on the Big Ten’s tradition of broad-based sports competition. On June 17, 2015, the conference announced that Johns Hopkins was accepted as a sport affiliate member for women's lacrosse beginning with the 2016-17 academic year. On March 23, 2016, the conference announced that Notre Dame would be joining the Big Ten for men’s ice hockey beginning with the 2017-18 academic year. Since opening in the fall of 2013, the Big Ten conference center hosts more than 300 meetings annually for member institu-
Following the death of Minneapolis resident George Floyd, Warren penned an open letter on June 1, 2020, announcing the formation of what became known as the Big Ten Equality Coalition. This group, which features student-athletes, coaches, athletic directors, chancellors, presidents and other members of the Big Ten family from all 14 member institutions, has a stated goal of seeking tangible ways to actively and constructively combat racism and hate around the world, while also empowering student-athletes to express their rights to free speech and peaceful protest. The United States Library of Congress selected Warren’s open letter for inclusion in its historic collection. A product of the conversations emerging from the coalition was the creation of the Big Ten Voter Registration Initiative. This non-partisan, conference-wide collaboration encourages student-athletes to take part in the electoral process and is led by a Voter Registration Committee that includes representatives from all 14 Big Ten institutions. The Voter Registration Committee has partnered with the National Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law to develop educational programming and outreach tools, and to collaborate with other established civic platforms.
UNIVERSITY
The conference expanded its footprint further in 2012 when the COP/C approved formal membership applications from the University of Maryland and Rutgers University on November 19 and 20, respectively. Maryland and Rutgers became official Big Ten members on July 1, 2014, giving the conference almost 9,500 students participating in intercollegiate athletics and more than 11,000 participation opportunities on 350 teams.
HISTORY & TRADITION
On June 11, 2010, the Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors (COP/C) approved a formal membership application by the University of Nebraska, expanding the conference to 12 institutions. Nebraska officially joined the Big Ten on July 1, 2011.
Less than two months later on May 4, 2020, the conference announced the formation of the Big Ten Mental Health and Wellness Cabinet, featuring representation from all 14 member institutions, as well as sport affiliate members Johns Hopkins (men’s and women’s lacrosse) and Notre Dame (men’s ice hockey). The goal of the cabinet is to promote optimal mental health for Big Ten student-athletes through a comprehensive, systemic and interdisciplinary approach to establishing mental health programs, while also providing counsel, advice and expertise to the conference office.
RECORDS & RESULTS
In 2006, Delany announced the creation of the first conference-owned television network, a 20-year agreement with FOX Networks to create what would become the Big Ten Network (BTN). Launched on Aug. 30, 2007, BTN now produces more than 1,800 events across all platforms each year. BTN is in almost 60 million homes in the U.S. and Canada via the nation’s major video providers and more than 300 additional video providers across the country. BTN is also available through the majority of OTT providers, and via the Fox Sports App, which delivers live and on-demand programming to computers, smartphones and tablets. In addition, the BTN+ platform streams hundreds of events each season.
During his first year, Warren has helped spark a number of groundbreaking conference initiatives. On March 7, 2020, in advance of the rising tide of the COVID-19 pandemic, the conference partnered with all 14 of its member institutions to create the Big Ten Task Force for Emerging Infectious Diseases. This group was formed to provide counsel and sound medical advice to ensure the health, safety and wellness of the Big Ten’s students, coaches, administrators and fans. It includes representatives from a diverse set of disciplines across campus healthcare systems and schools of public health and their input serves as a resource for the conference in making important decisions based on information received from local, state and federal health departments, along with the NCAA.
2020 REVIEW
In 2004, the Big Ten implemented a pilot program of instant replay for college football. Following the season, the conference forwarded replay proposals to the NCAA regarding the future use of instant replay, where it approved country-wide testing in 2005. In 2006, the NCAA approved the use of instant replay for all conferences.
Warren and his staff work to meet the educational needs of student-athletes to allow them to excel in all areas of their lives. The conference office manages 27 different championships and tournaments, offers legislative and compliance services, oversees the production and distribution of more than 2,000 events annually, provides staff services to coaching and administrative personnel, and remains a vital resource for media and fans seeking information on the Big Ten.
COACHING STAFF
In 1981, the conference presidents and chancellors endorsed a proposal that enabled universities to affiliate their women’s intercollegiate programs with the conference, and the first conference championships for women were staged that fall. The Big Ten was the first conference to voluntarily adopt male and female participation goals after launching its Gender Equity Action Plan in 1992.
In June 2014, the Big Ten opened a second office in New York City, featuring both office and meeting space in Midtown Manhattan. Big Ten staff members are based in the New York City office to provide expanded coverage and service, while other conference and institutional administrators utilize the space as necessary when conducting business on the East Coast. The Big Ten and its member institutions also have access to satellite office space in Washington, D.C.

In one of Duke’s first actions as commissioner, he oversaw the adoption of the Big Ten Advisory Commission in 1972, designed to study conference programs and make suggestions which would further Big Ten objectives. The Advisory Commission enlists former students that competed in Big Ten athletics to serve as liaisons to the NCAA’s Diversity and Inclusion Department, the Big Ten Student-Athlete Advisory Commission and other organizations.
