Rutgers is expanding its renewal of one former Big East rivalry and cancelling another at a cost.
Rutgers announced Tuesday that its non-conference home-and-home series with Boston College will be expanded from two to four games, with matchups in 2019 and 2022 added to the two in 2026 and 2027.
The two additional games essentially take the place of a home-and-home series against Miami that was originally agreed upon in 2009. The Hurricanes were supposed to visit Piscataway in 2018 and host the Scarlet Knights in 2019.
NJ Advance Media has confirmed that Rutgers must pay the $100,000 fee written into the contract with Miami for cancelling the games.
