Rutgers football participated in the ringing of the bell for the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday, this ahead of tomorrow’s Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl.
The DOW was up 28.84 mid-afternoon. The NASDAQ and S&P 500 were up slightly.
Rutgers was joined by representatives from Miami (including head coach Mario Cristobal, defensive lineman Akheem Mesidor and quarterback Emory Williams). Rutgers was represented by offensive lineman Tyler Needham and linebacker Tyreem Powell.
The ringing of the bell was another moment during bowl week for Rutgers and Miami. On Tuesday, the two teams visited the 9/11 Memorial and Museum at World Trade Center Plaza.
The memorial and museum are on the site of the former World Trade Center, affectionately known as the ‘Twin Towers’ to many in the New York City and tristate region.
