By the grace of the NCAA, the rich get richer, and Rutgers gains, too

Here’s something you don’t see every day. The NCAA handing out money for no other reason than they have it.

NCAA is set to make one-time, $200 million distribution to D-1 schools. How much will your school get? Take a look: https://t.co/C3QWqd1kx9

From the photo that the tweeter used above, you can probably guess who is getting the most money.

And that’s because the distribution is based on the number of full time equivalent scholarships you gave out in 2013-14. So, by not having the full allotment of athletic scholarships - as well as a smaller overall program - Rutgers hurt itself.
