The all-inclusive Rutgers dumpster fire thread...

[Jeepers]

Is the NCAA even involved? I haven't heard one mention.

They are submitting their findings to the NCAA as required. So, if they weren't involved, they soon will be.

 

[Stevenson]

Why do people give a about Rutgers? Have we fallen that far?

Maybe they forgot about them

I really don't think the Big 10 regrets their decision. It's all about the $$$$

The money quote:

He wasn't fired because he is cheap enough for an athletic department that is an absolute mess to keep.
I mean, they definitely could fire him for cause over this, but then they’d just have to find another head coach and pay that guy, probably more than they’d pay Flood.

The thread is titled:
RIKERS University


It is a "stripe out" game so I'm guessing we'll see a bunch of guys in prison stripes with Barnwell, Boggs, etc on the back.

Well, if you've lost Rutgers Al, you might as well close up shop.

I think the entire Rutgers teams could burn down his house, and he would thank them.

i am a fan of flood. he has been abused by the grossly immature rookie fanbase since he took over. schiano took every coach with him. flood started from scratch, saved their recruiting class and quite frankly is a much better coach than the fake schiano, ever was. i feel bad for him, as he is a scapegoat for a dysfunctional ad, and he tried to legitimately help a student. on the upside for me i hope we get a couple of jersey guys because of it. when i was in grad school at ru they had a coach named frank burns --he was an awesome coach --he applied to syracuse when ben left---to my dismay he did not get the job

Doe Pat Forde read our board?

Man, the Rutgers board is a treasure trove of hilarity right now. Someone posted this write-up from Every Day Should Be Saturday. It's hilarious:

If you told me that was an article from The Onion, I would have believed you.

Clearly, Forde reads this board. Welcome, Pat!

wait wait wait...you actually think Flood contacting the professor and then having a face to face meeting with the professor, and then editing the player's paper in an attempt to get a better grade to become academically eligible, was about helping the kid and not about getting a good player eligible to help the team win? That is stunningly naive.

If he truly cared about the kid, he'd have used the failing grade as a teaching moment to lead to better and more responsible study habits that will serve him far better in the real world. Bailing out the kid's academic mistakes in actively harming the kid longterm.

 

[Hoo's That]

There are not many wins to vacate. Now what will NCAA do?

Count their losses double? :noidea: Sorry, that's the best I can come up with.

That Article is epic... I laughed to the point of tears reading it... So many one liners...

In other breaking news, the entire Rutgers athletic department has been arrested for impersonating a P5 conference member.

A felony, I believe.

Only a violation in NJ - just points on your license

This thread is a runaway train and I love it.

BINGO... flood only cared because it was a 4-star starter. Third string does not get a clandestine meeting in Princeton. haha

The fact he did it clandestine-like was not to benefit or help the player other, rather he was interested in helping himself out.

That Forde column about Rutgers/B1G was awesome. And I greatly dislike Forde.

Love this zinger:

"Of all the realignment maneuvers of the past five years, adding the Scarlet Knights is liking signing up for a lifetime case of poison ivy rash."

Ba BOOM.
