Say this much for last week's 41-point loss administered by Kansas: at least Rutgers didn't have to cut a check to the Jayhawks for the butt-kicking.
That wasn't the case Saturday, as Rutgers doled out one of its largest payouts to an opponent in program history before Buffalo left HighPoint.com Stadium with a blowout victory.
Rutgers cut Buffalo a $900,000 check for the right to stage Saturday's non-conference affair.
Considering the large number of empty seats for the game — Rutgers announced a crowd of 34,574 but the 52,454-seat stadium appeared about half-empty midway through the first half — it's highly unlikely that Rutgers made its money back on the nearly $1 million payout.
