What were they thinking? How did the University President and the AD EVER think that not only would Rice not survive but themselves survive IF that video ever saw the public light of day? I think before the dust settles on this one it's going to be a threesome going out the Rutgers door.
Exactly. Especially when the assistant that filmed it all mysteriously did not have his contract renewed. At that point, you'd have to KNOW that the video would have been seen somewhere.
According to the news reports out here in N.J. the assistant didn't have his contract renewed because of a falling out with Rice over the assitant ,who is a former NBA player,making appearances at rival summer B.B. camps.
One thing that is upsetting to a lot of people out here (including me) is how R.U.'s A.D. handled the situation.
According to the papers,R.U.'s A.D. started his investigation into Rice last Summer.In Novemeber he was given the tape.
In December he suspended Rice for 3 games, fined him a total of $75000. (Salary +Appearance fees) and made him take anger management classes.
No new information has come out since then.
So either the A.D. screwed up in December by not firing Rice then or doesn't have courage to defend his position.
Either way the consensus is he should go.
As far as a new coach,a lot of R.U. people want to try to get Villinova's coach.
Hurly is also popular,but people are concerned that he only has 1 year of head coaching experience at a small school.
