THANK YOU for explaining why Michael Moore has made appearances wearing a Rutgers hat (haven't understood that until your article today). My wife and I are both Rutgers alums and enjoyed seeing him on Jay Leno and other appearances sporting some RU pride. Interesting news to hear that Mark Ecko is marketing the Scarlet Knights and will continue to create good buzz for his alma mater...I'm surprised he hasn't done so earlier.
By the way, regarding the Rutgers "brand" when it comes to sports, I've been enjoying watching pro football lately and seeing how well past Rutgers players are doing (or the fact that they're playing for pro teams). Always fun to hear the announcers make a big deal when Ray Rice makes a big play for the Ravens or when Brian Leonard is interviewed after a great performance with the Bengals or Kenny Britt makes a big catch with the Titans, etc., etc. While they may be players for the NFL, they'll always be carrying the "Rutgers" brand with them which goes back to their training under Coach Greg Schiano...keep choppin' RU!
