I would be exasperated being forced to keep Schiano.
It's often said that big time sports are a university's front porch, giving passesby their first impression of a school. For most of its time in big time football, now in the B1G, Rutgers' front porch has been in complete disrepair. There is no doubt that that has hurt the university. The athletic department is in a cumulative $516 BILLION hole since joining the B1G in 2014. Buying out Schiano would cost them $18M more--not exhorbitant in today's market--but one can appreciate the concern. Football is an expensive embarrassment to the entire university.
