Guest hitoallusa Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I can't believe the attitude of the atheletic director either. It's like it's ok unless it gets in the media... http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fv8Y3iU7Gjk Quote
Guest NCBored Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 He has been fired. We'll see if the AD survives. Quote
Members wayout Posted April 4, 2013 Members Posted April 4, 2013 It was a disturbing video to watch where he was physically and verbally abusive to some of his players. It seems as though it initially was being swept under the rug for the most part even though the coach did get a 3 game suspension, $50k fine and required to attend anger management courses. Being fired seems to have been the right decision but it was a shame it took so long and only after the video became public for it to happen. Both the AD and the University President may not survive: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/04/sports/ncaabasketball/rutgers-fires-basketball-coach-after-video-surfaces.html?_r=0 Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 The AD and the president should be fired for not taking appropriate actions. What else goes on under the radar in the world of sports?

Guest rimchair Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 A important side story to this is the Assistant Coach Murdoch: ""On Wednesday’s edition of the “Boomer & Carton” show, Craig Carton said he had been hearing that Eric Murdock, the former member of Rice’s coaching staff who provided Rutgers officials with a videotape of Rice verbally and physically abusing players, wanted Rutgers to pay him $1 million to keep quiet, and keep the now infamous video private. Carton also said he had been hearing Rutgers may have offered Murdock $200,000 for his silence.""Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/college/wfan-backtracks-host-claim-rutgers-murdock-article-1.1307343#ixzz2PVU9A9LS Quote
