On a day when President Donald Trump in on Liberty's Lynchburg, Va., campus speaking at the university's commencement, the Rutgers and Liberty football programs on Saturday announced a game set to be played in the 2019 season.
Starting in 2018, Rutgers will be restricted from scheduling FCS teams as part of Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany's mandate for league teams to stop playing lower-level schools.
So the Scarlet Knights did the next best thing, scheduling a Liberty program that is set to join the FBS ranks starting in 2018.
Rutgers and Liberty will meet at High Point Solutions Stadium on Oct.
