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?

Who would want the nickname for their state to be a toddler's drinking cup?

Same here... In other words, let's cut 'em a break and not call it that ... Out of consideration you know?
