We can't be the only ones still finding it impossible to fathom Rutgers' outlandish transfer from the Big East to the Big Ten back in 2014, right?

From the surface, it might have been a good look for the Scarlet Knights program, who, in truth, were probably ready to move up a conference, but it didn't take a genius to come to terms with the fact that they would struggle immensely with the heavyweights of the Big Ten (they've won a measly 17 games over the last five seasons).

Well, it would appear that the university is finally coming to terms with their limited ceiling. Rutgers will reportedly serve 32, count 'em 32, different types of alcoholic drinks at Highmark Stadium in 2019.

The Scarlet Knights (obviously) have to take dubs wherever and whenever they can, and this particular report absolutely calls for the student body to add a tally to the W column.

What's genuinely depressing for the school, however, is that if you do the math, Rutgers will be offering 25 more alcoholic beverages than than they have conference wins (7) since their jump to the Big Ten conference.

All told, it makes sense. Rutgers is simply rewarding their committed fan base, who will likely witness their school get pummeled on a weekly basis, by allowing them to drink away their sorrows.

We'll call it a win-win, or lose-lose, scenario.
