Growing resentment evident in overwhelming vote to cut Rutgers athletic budget, faculty say - Jarrett Renshaw, NJ.com

Faculty members who packed Voorhees Hall said the 174-3 vote shows their growing resentment over pumping millions into an athletic department that is among the biggest money-losers in the nation.
