Rutgers to receive 6-figure payout from NCAA: What's it for? How can it be spent?

Rutgers is about to receive a payment of $915,017 as part of a one-time distribution of NCAA wealth, according to a report by USA TODAY Sports.

The amounts are based on the number of scholarships provided by each NCAA school during the 2013-14 school year -- Rutgers' one and only season as an American Athletic Conference member.

Rutgers had 278.02 scholarships during that school year -- second-most in the conference, behind Louisville -- and therefore its payout is second only to Louisville's $973,699. Partial scholarships were figured into the equation.
