- Rutgers began 2026 with a shocking 37-21 home loss to UMass as 29.5-point favorites — part of an 0-3 start that put coach Greg Schiano on the hot seat.
- Schiano is Rutgers' all-time winningest coach and is paid about $6.75M this season, making him New Jersey’s highest‑paid public employee; his buyout if fired after 2026 is roughly $18.5M.
- Rutgers hosts No. 6 Indiana on Oct. 3 and still faces a tough back half of the schedule, including Michigan, Penn State and Michigan State.
