Kyle Flood reacts to report he is being investigated by Rutgers
PISCATAWAY – Kyle Flood defended his behavior Tuesday in response to a report that he is being investigated for possible impermissible contact with a university faculty member.
At the crux of the investigation is the content of an email Flood allegedly sent from a personal account to a faculty member at the Mason Gross School of Arts regarding the status of Nadir Barnwell, as first reported by NJ Advance Media.
Barnwell, a Piscataway native and the team’s top cornerback, is known to be in jeopardy of being ruled academically inelgibile.
Flood could face a public reprimand, suspension or termination from his contract if his action is found to have been in failure with compliance, the report said.
“Let me start by saying I'm disappointed at the tone of the article that (media relations official) Hasim (Phillips) showed me this morning,” Flood told reporters before practice. “I've been the head coach now this is going into my fourth season and I've had a lot of interaction with the teachers on our campus.
“I think that that article not only insults my integrity but it insults the integrity of our faculty. I've come to realize that our faculty here at Rutgers is beyond reproach and I have a tremendous amount of respect for them. Our faculty are a part of our program. Just as recently as the other day, we had two faculty members at our practice.”
“Any correspondence that I had with a professor in regards to a student-athlete would really be of this nature. One, to be in support of whatever decision that faculty member made. And two, to inquire as to whether or not there would be an opportunity to earn a better grade. This practice is not unusual at Rutgers. Many students all over campus receiver what are called”'t grades" -- doing work outside of when the class ends that semester to earn a better grade.”
