Rutgers Paid UMass to Lose | Rutgers Scarlet News

Rutgers football just suffered a jaw-dropping loss to UMass, falling 37-21 despite being heavily favored — and paid $1.55 million to play them. The embarrassment deepened when they launched a $200K fireworks show after the game, in front of a sparse crowd. Coach Greg Schiano’s contract locks him in for nearly $18M if fired before 2030, making a coaching change unlikely. Even Dave Portnoy called it a joke, while Rutgers’ defeat ended UMass’s 16-game losing streak — all while the Scarlet Knights scramble to fix their season.
