April 4, 201313 yr 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
April 4, 201313 yr Active Members 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

April 4, 201313 yr 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
