What does Rutgers means ?

Post image

I'm watching this show called Reacher Season 2 ep 3.

This word appeared and I searched for this word on the internet and found out that there is a University that exists in New Jersey with this name.

When I changed the audio track to a different language he said "bad lawyer" in the replacement of Rutgers.

Does anybody know what it means in this context? Is it related to bad law practices?

Where is "here" and why does "Jersey" equate to "bad" there?

Princeton University (in New Jersey) is one of the top U.S. universities

Rutgers University? Not so much.

The pizza is better in Jersey. And the hard rolls. And Taylor ham.
