Some lucky Rutgers students get to reap the rewards, literally, of their team’s great season. How about $300 cash to go watch your school play in the Insight Bowl? Can’t pay the athletes but I guess if you are rich enough, and the Governor of the state, you can pay the students who watch the athletes.
About 275 Rutgers students will be randomly selected to receive $300 stipends for travel expenses to the Dec. 27 game in Phoenix. The game against Arizona State is only Rutgers' second bowl appearance and its first in 27 years.
"The university encourages students to support the football team at the Insight Bowl. Events like these enrich the college experience," said Gregory Blimling, Rutgers' vice president for student affairs.
The travel money comes from more than $85,000 donated by alumni and others, including a $25,000 state donation authorized by acting Gov. Richard J. Codey.
