Rutgers basketball coach pulls a Bob Knight.
Love watching Jeremy Schaap (Cornell alum) absolutely pummel the Rutgers AD for not firing the coach.

The sad part to me is:
Is this what it has come to? It's so common, even at young ages, that it's just accepted?
"No, I'm not personally offended by it," Graham said in a telephone interview from his home in Durham, N.C. "I was brought up like that.

Not true. Jeremy Schaap says it with every smug look.

FYP. If the problem with the AD is that he didn't fire the coach, that doesn't absolve the coach.Towerroad

Thank goodness. That AD looked like an absolute tool on OTL. You couldn't get an actor to look more guilty.

What is there to say but that others have been fired for much, much less. [Insert oblique reference to Mark Morris here.]

So give Jeremy Schaap credit for being the catalyst that brought about change at Rutgers, first basketball coach Mike Rice dismissed and then athletic director Tim Pernetti resigning, each with very nice severance or contract fulfillment deals of $1 million each. Pernetti had the tough job of trying to improve sports in a state with incredible HS football, basketball, lacrosse and other players ... and most of them go somewhere else. Pernetti was trying to level the playing field.
The Rutgers campus is split up, there is no world-class (okay, regional world class) campus like UConn, no great town like Amherst, the facilities are kind of impersonal, and taxpayers have balked at expanding the football stadium. But there is this: When the Star-Ledger reported on how much money was being spent, or trying to be spent, on the football stadium, it also quoted a prof who said that in his long years at Rutgers, only now was he seeing lots of students wearing college logo-wear that said Rutgers. Rutgers also hurt itself by killing minor sports whose alumni have gone on to Olympic and Wall Street fame, namely rowing.
Meanwhile, Rutgers boosters who say they were about to fund something big on campus tell the Star-Ledger they're less inclined now that their man Pernetti is gone. There's a pony in there somewhere.

Newspapers say part of Pernetti's settlement was...an iPad. Who did he have to throw a basketball at to get the ante upped to that???

Maybe it's only the 16GB model with WiFi not cellular. Sometimes little stuff like this has value because it does, or because he doens't want to have to be his own IT dep't and install apps on a new iPad.scoop85

This got lost in everything going on in Boston today (good day for a news dump), but Rutgers suspended the men's lacrosse coach pending an investigation for verbal abuse today. As a graduate student at Rutgers, so I'm somewhat familiar with the atmosphere on campus and how they treat the athletic department, I would say (admittedly without any evidence) that I'd be shocked if this wasn't going on in the football program when Schiano was in charge. It fits Schiano's personality perfectly.
