Rutgers AD Tim Pernetti fired.

"More than 50" Rutgers faculty are calling for the university president to resign as well. To be clear, I have no issue with Rice or Pernetti getting fired over this, that's just reality in a society where media outrage will only increase until people lose their jobs, but the overreaction to this "abuse" is turning this whole episode into farce.

"This incident will continue to hang over Rutgers like a dark cloud for weeks, months and perhaps years to come," the Democratic lawmaker said in a statement. "It seems pretty clear that things were not handled well from the start."
Meanwhile, the number calling for Barchi to step down more than doubled Thursday to 28.
The letter calling for Barchi's resignation was first sent to the university's governing boards on Wednesday. In it, the faculty cite Barchi's "inexcusable handling of coach Mike Rice's homophobic and misogynist abuse" of players, his "continued pattern of insensitivity and arrogance toward issues of diversity" and the "secrecy and lack of transparency that he has exhibited in his relations" with faculty, staff and students. ​

The bolded make it clear this has morphed from a coaching issue into an academic-liberal crusade.​

BTW, without an AD, with a school president on shaky ground and a program history that is lacking, if I'm Dan Hurley, I'd stay at Rhode Island (if offered the Rutgers job).

Stay at URI, try to build and get a better job than Rutgers. Maybe he'll miss an opportunity, but I think Rutgers right now is kinda a risk to take.

I still remember that mid-day press conference (in the Fall) with Coach Meyer when a reporter told him that Rutgers and Maryland were joining the Big Ten (while he was answering questions).

I swear he almost started laughing (but didn't).

I just heard from my sister in Struthers that Mike Rice played basketball for Boardman Spartans and that his father was an assistant coach at Youngstown State basketball back in the eightys and even his father has some anger management issues back then.

I lived in New York for a bit, but listening to the introductions of the Rutgers press conference and I've made an observation:

Everyone associated with Rutgers (outside of Mike Rice) seems to be Italian or have an Italian-sounding last name.

You mean to say that pro-gay forces are seizing upon an opportunity to push their cause to the forefront? Color me shocked...

Not that it's a surprise, and I don't know why one would think it would have an impact, but Jim Delany released a statement and had a few interviews saying the Rice/Pernetti situation has no impact on Rutgers going to the Big Ten.

The only people thinking it would have an impact are probably fans of schools praying for an invitation to the Big Ten, to get out of The American (or whatever it's called).

AP source: FBI investigating possible extortion at Rutgers
The FBI is investigating whether a former Rutgers basketball employee tried to extort the university before he made videos that showed former coach Mike Rice shoving and kicking players and berating them with gay slurs.

A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Sunday that investigators are interested in Eric Murdock, who left his job as the men's basketball program's player development director last year and later provided the video to university officials and ESPN.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the inquiry has not been announced. The investigation was first reported by The New York Times.

The FBI, which generally does not confirm whether investigations exist, did not return a call or email Sunday from the AP, and neither did Murdock's lawyer. A Rutgers spokesman referred questions to the FBI.

A December letter from Murdock's lawyer to a lawyer representing Rutgers requested $950,000 to settle employment issues and said that if the university did not agree by Jan. 4, Murdock was prepared to file a lawsuit.
The letter was obtained last week by the AP and other media outlets.

I don't know if a conference commissioner like Jim Delany should have ultimate say on the next AD at Rutgers.

http://www.nj.com/rutgersfootball/index.ssf/2013/04/carl_kirschner_to_be_named_rut.html

The Star-Ledger reported today that Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany is expected to have a role in the search for a new AD as Rutgers prepares for a move to that conference in 2014.

Rutgers can ask his opinion, but he shouldn't be the deciding factor. On the other hand, Rutgers should be happy with whatever the Big Ten says, at this point (they should be happy to be in the conference).
