Things haven’t gone well on the field for the 4-7 Rutgers Scarlet Knights this season, and now, they’re not going too well at the field. At Rutgers’ High Point Solutions Stadium during Saturday’s game against Michigan State, the university announced that the bathrooms were out of commission thanks to a “water pressure issue,” and asked fans to leave the stadium to use portable toilets:
There is a water pressure issue inside High Point Solutions Stadium. You can go to the porta-johns outside and be readmitted. No joke. #RUtgers

Rutgers having "Water Issues" and they ask fans to LEAVE the stadium to use porta potties. They will be welcomed back.

That led to a whole lot of criticism and jokes:
And #rutgers wonders why I won’t renew my season tickets?…. they turned the water off in the upper level. So sad #B1G more like Small time

It's Rutgers, can't they just leave to go pee then never come back? https://t.co/NmJFdN9R8c

Rutgers currently trails Michigan State 16-7. Heading into this game, the Scarlet Knights were 18-30 overall in the last four seasons since joining the Big Ten, and 7-25 in conference. Oh, and they also gave Eastern Michigan their first-ever win over a Big Ten school this year.
But hey, the Scarlet Knights have hot tubs, and a Jersey Shore promotion. Even if they don’t have running water.
