The Final Score

Why in the world did Rutgers think this was a good idea:

Last year Rutgers University football coach Greg Schiano shook hands on a lucrative contract extension that made him one of the highest-paid collegiate coaches in the nation. But that was only a piece of the deal.

Five months after agreeing to terms that will pay him as much as $2 million annually, Schiano signed a side agreement, providing an additional $250,000 a year through indirect payments that were never publicly disclosed, according to records obtained by The Star-Ledger.

Here's the rest of the story. Maybe some day Hofstra or Stony Brook could become a bigtime D-I program, and we'd have a similar story to cover on Long Island. In the meantime we'll have to settle for Big Brown.
