the guy answered a phone call and became a god- i love the how he got them a big invite crap-
all he did was answer a call -pretty much what gross did-
thats the only thing he ever did-just like the school he has no trophy's
My sources are telling me Rutgers out, UConn will be invited to B1G. Done Deal , Tuesday 4 pm presser ;-)
You have no idea what their in house counsel told him.The man got Rice tapes in June 2012 went to RU in-house counsel who advised him that the tapes didn't warrant termination. .
Pernetti's firing basically confirms to me this country is crazy. The man is an RU alum, was one of the FEW good things the University's athletics department had on its side, had TV executive experience, could speak well. The man got Rice tapes in June 2012 went to RU in-house counsel who advised him that the tapes didn't warrant termination. During the same time was able to Jedi mind trick Jim Delany into throwing RU a LIFESAVER and getting them into the B1G, and then he punished Mike Rice in December. Should Pernetti have fired Mike Rice in December? Yes, but if in-house counsel reviewed the tapes and told him it wasn't mandatory then he did nothing wrong other than decide not to fire a bully coach. Pernetti is going because this country has BECOME to sensitive and overactive to EVERYTHING. I don't think the man should lose his job because public sentiment demands the coach be fired. Simple fact if a successful coach was on tape doing what Mike Rice did they then Pernetti would have survived, but because this punk Mike Rice wasn't successful Pernetti could have jettisoned him and won the court of people appeal. Pernetti shouldn't have been fired here, but since it hurts Rutgers oh well.

Puh-lease. I'm a frequent rider on the "grow up" bus -- but this is a bad example. Here's a public employee making ethnic slurs and calling kids "faggots" at a school where a kid jumped off the George Washington Bridge due to perceived harassment. He's not worth Rutgers' trouble.We are raising a nation of hyper-sensitive sissies. People worry about the math and science gap with foreign countries and not enough about the toughness gap.
The modern day reaction to Pearl Harbor would be to attempt to sue the Japanese in court and then search around for how we provoked them and that it really wasn't their fault.
My high school coaches were tough on us ... even physically. My drill instructor was a lot meaner than they were. We survived.
