According to the January 16, 1908 New Brunswick Home News, the Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the United States (soon to be re-named the NCAA) set the first uniform limits on the number of games its members could play in a season. For Rutgers and everyone else, the football season would be no more than nine games, 18 for baseball and 12 for basketball. Rutgers was already playing nine games a year since 1903, and, with exceptions, an 11-game schedule in 1971 and a 12-game schedule in 2002.
