can i get a brief summary of what has happend? I've heard about arrest problems, etc. what is the overarching theme?
It can be an honest debate whether Pitt could or should have ended up in that conference ... we all know the particulars, and have our own opinions and biases on whether it was feasible or preferable ... but it's undeniable by now that it's a travesty that Rutgers and Maryland are.
Kyle Flood was only suspended 3 games after he was caught meeting with a professor to get a players grades changed so he could be eligible. He (Flood) is stating that he didn't know that was a rule, yet, everything was done off campus, in secret, via private emails, etc. Doesn't sound like someone who didn't know he was breaking the rules.
The best part is, the kid he was trying to get the grade changed for is now off the team as he was one of the kids arrested for home invasion, among other charges.
That and just the whole thing with the arrests, the player suspended for beating a woman after the game Saturday, the whole Mike Rice situation in 2013, and then Rutgers hiring the replacement BB coach who never even earned a degree even though he said he did, etc.
Just mess after mess.
They should adopt the preferred response to such discoveries that their new rival has perfected: "WITCH HUNT!"
This is what happens when you don't hire coaches and presidents who are well versed in The Art of the Cover-up, and don't have champion spin-doctors in your publicity department. (UPS and tOSU have this down to a science.)
That is the prevailing sentiment on their Rivals board: This is ALL attributable to the Newark Star-Ledger and nj.com, who have allegedly always had an anti-Rutgers agenda.
I agree geeman...having Pitt would be an upgrade over Rutgers and Maryland...significant upgrade.
The more and more I see and hear of the defiance for the rules. The more I feel that football
factories should just break away form the NCAA.
This Rutgers situation is a total cluster mess!
