PISCATAWAY — In the late-2000s, the NCAA instituted a rule that if a player removes his helmet while on the field during a game, he will be charged with an unsportsmanlike penalty.

Maybe the officials can make an exception for Michael Cintron this Saturday.

Rutgers' punter has reason to show off his hairdo after he had his local barber shave a ribbon on the back of his head and dye it pink as an homage to Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
