Good bye Rose Bowl, hello Carrier Dome. In a move that NJ Advance Media’s Keith Sargeant reported as a possibility last September, Rutgers has officially cancelled its two game series with UCLA in 2020 and 2021. It was first confirmed on Thursday afternoon by Sports Illustrated’s Bruce Feldman.
#Rutgers has withdrawn from a two-game football series with #UCLA scheduled for 2020 & 2021. AD Dan Guerrero was officially informed of RU's decision to cancel the series via e-mail last Thurs. Per the agreement, Rutgers must pay UCLA a $500K termination fee w/i 30 days of demand

There is no denying that paying a $500K termination fee is a lot of money to cancel a series that was agreed upon when Greg Schiano was still the head coach of Rutgers.
