Rutgers Pays Big to Lose to UMass | Rutgers Scarlet News

Rutgers football just handed over $1.55 million to UMass — yes, really — to lose a game they were favored by nearly 30 points, in what’s becoming one of the most baffling and costly defeats in program history. With coach Greg Schiano back for his seventh season and Rutgers holding the title of the nation’s oldest football program, this loss stings even more. UMass, meanwhile, hasn’t won a game in 16 tries since joining FBS in 2012. The final score? 37-21. And after the game? A fireworks show. Yeah, you read that right. Fans are left wondering where this team is headed — especially after paying top dollar to lose. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
