So how did Jim Delany having a say in the hiring of the Rutgers AD work? I don't see any mention of his involvement in the process now, but it was suggested that he would have some input.

Dumb is hiring a search firm to find an AD, then choosing your own candidate that wasn't among the list of 47 candidates that you paid for.

How did this lady get to be on the list? Was one of her friends working for Rutgers or something?

It seems the Rutgers AD is going to keep her job. The events that make up much of the angst were a long time ago and it's hard to fire someone largely for what happened 16 years ago when she wasn't fired for it initially and enhanced her reputation with a lot of work in the subsequent years. Yes, she lied about it in the press conference, which adds to the PR nightmare Rutgers has had the past several months, but I suppose lying at a press conference to cover up a scandal in your distant past isn't enough to fire her over.

I would guess that almost no one ever heard anything about this story when she was coaching at Tennessee, when she got transferred to the administration at that SEC school, or when she got hired at Louisville soon afterward. But now that she goes to a school that (in a year) is going to the Big Ten 16 years later, NOW it's a story. Thanks, social media, for giving the Big Ten a scandal that had SEC written all over it. Tennessee didn't even fire her for it, but it seemed there was a big media push that Rutgers should fire her for it now many years later.

With any luck, there will be a video of drunken Rutgers administrators next.

You didn't hear anything about it because:

1. It happened in 1991, before the golden age of the internet, twitter, sports media and blogging.

2. It's women's volleyball. Again, NCAA womens volleyball. You'll never hear anything about it even today.

3. Her career record is 77-106 and she quit in 1996. She was a terrible coach and quit? Do you want an expose on 60 minutes?

4. The UT administration and players on the teams denies anything happened: http://espn.go.com/new-york/college...-ad-reportedly-center-sex-discrimination-suit


It's easy and cheap to take the "THEY ARE OUT TO GET US" argument.
Rutgers doesn't join the league for another year. Nobody is out to embarrass the B1G.

Sullivan: Rutgers hiring process not as advertised

Through every public blunder and every embarrassing disclosure about their appointment of Julie Hermann as the new head of their athletic department, Rutgers University and its embattled president have maintained one unassailable truth: that the search process they followed was thorough and transparent.

But a source with direct knowledge of the process described to The Record on Tuesday how that wasn?t the case, providing details of a sometimes secret and often rushed procedure that left the bulk of the 26-member advisory committee in the dark until the night before they were told they would meet the two finalists. That description stands in direct contrast to what Rutgers president Robert Barchi said Monday, when he released a statement in support of Hermann?s embattled candidacy that said, ?Rutgers was deliberative at every stage of this process.?

That?s not how members of the committee saw it.

?It seemed totally set up to begin with,? the source said. ?The committee was told it would be given a list of all the finalists, which would be whittled to 10 and then to three by the [six-member] executive committee. But they never got the original list, never got the 10, and got an email the night before they were supposed to meet the candidates informing them they would meet them for an hour each.?

Rutgers paid $70,000 for background check, other assistance on Julie Hermann hire

Rutgers paid $70,000 for the background check that failed to uncover the accusations of verbal and emotional abuse from former volleyball players against the state university?s new athletics director Julie Hermann, an Asbury Park Press investigation found today.

According to the contract obtained by the Press, Rutgers on April 8 hired Parker Executive Search to advertise the AD position, identify candidates and perform background checks on them.

Laurie Wilder, executive vice president of Parker Executive Search, who signed the three-page agreement, declined an interview request for this story, saying in an email, ?We do not discuss our clients publicly.??
