Rutgers introduces 'Rutgers Tough' shirts to support cancer research
Summary

Rutgers has made 'Rutgers Tough' t-shirts available for online purchase after high demand during initial sales at home games. The initiative supports head coach Steve Pikiell, who is undergoing cancer treatment. Proceeds will benefit RWJBarnabas Health and the Rutgers Cancer Institute. The shirts were initially slated for limited sale at home games, but quickly sold out at Jersey Mike's Arena in the first match against New Haven. The shirts will be continued to be sold during upcoming home games against NJIT on November 10 and Bryant on November 13.
