A lot of that "convincing" is when the team consistently wins on the field, the team is on TV nationally, and there is a sense that a player has the potential to make it to the NFL by going to Rutgers. It'll take time, but I see it happening sooner than later.
I can see this little bit of good news leading to a NJ DRAFT TAX.
Congrats to the kids!

It's tough to keep talent local here in NJ. Imagine this scenerio, you're a top football athlete with many offers around the country. You're invited to the Rutgers Campus (which is a very good school), and you get the star treatment. You then go out and visit other campuses like USC, University of Miami, etc where the football programs are so much bigger with so much more national exposure. Essentially, it's a daunting task to keep talent here in NJ.
