Rutgers will replace Texas A&M in the Gator Bowl against Wake Forest after an NCAA committee decided Thursday to adhere to an existing policy for making teams with 5-7 records bowl eligible. The NCAA football oversight committee also announced that any bowl game can be moved to as late as Jan.10 if the schools involved need additional time to prepare for competition. Neither Rutgers nor the Gator Bowl immediately confirmed the Scarlet Knights would be playing in the game or whether it would still be played on Dec.31, but the school did tease a formal announcement on social media. “Better late than never,” read a tweet from the Rutgers football account.
