per NJ.com:

Kyle Flood has been suspended three games as Rutgers football coach and fined $50,000 following a university-led investigation into rules violations and amid a recent string of off-field transgressions involving players on his team, NJ Advance Media has learned from people with knowledge of the investigation.

Those people requested anonymity because Rutgers hasn't officially announced the penalty yet.

The decision comes three days before the Scarlet Knights are set to play Penn State in the Scarlet Knights' Big Ten opener this Saturday.

Go Gophers!!
 

Ya gotta give Rutgers credit. They are spacing out their dumpster fire events very nicely so there is a new one hitting the press pretty much every day.

Who doesn't like a bunch of good dumpster fires. I'm so glad we added Slutgers to the B1G.
 

Ok, i'm thinking maybe we should take the Colorado State to the B1G petition seriously...swiftly removing
Rutgers to clear room.
 


and I thought Iowa was a bunch or jacka$$es. send Rutgers back to the big East/AAC
 

I like Rutgers. But then I like diarhea, hemorrhoids, puking, and warm Blatz Light.
 


DUMPSTER FIRE!

This school has been a joke in sports, with the exception of football for a few years, for a very long time. It's embarrassing that we allowed them into the Big Ten. We're really slumming it.

How does this AD survive? She was skating on thin ice from the time she was hired, and she's still hanging on somehow. I wish we could kick their asses out of the Big Ten and trade them for Notre Dame.

No wonder why Nelson wanted to join these guys.

I've thought the same thing, if only for the selfish reason that it's a good road trip and the airfare is cheap.

Dang, does this Kyle Flood sound like one dumb son of a bitch. I mean it would be one thing if he were simply ignorant about the no-contact rule between coaches and faculty members (still not excusable, but better to be ignorant than dishonest), but he clearly knew that was a no-no and thus was sneaking around like a two-bit secret agent. It's comedic really how big a fool he acted, but man. What he did is certainly grounds for termination, and I'm pretty sure he'll be fired by season's end at the latest. The only thing is he works very, very cheaply (I believe he's only paid 675K annually), but I'm sure Rutgers can find some other schnook to work for cheap.

They were a highly questionable choice to begin with and have been nothing but an absolute PR disaster since being added to the Big Ten. That decision lies all on Delany, the Jersey boy himself. I wonder if he wishes he could roll back the clock and simply not invite Rutgers to join at all. The thing of it is, it checked off a lot of the assumed criteria for Big Ten membership. It really is an excellent school academically, it's a member of the AAU, and it's the flagship university of its state, and those are major positive points. Athletically however, it is simply sub-par, and not only that, but it appears a dirty, out of control, scandal-ridden cesspool of an athletic department. I mean fricken-A, it is just one thing after another after another with these guys, from the men's basketball coach verbally berating and humiliating his players so savagely it became a national scandal, to what is it now, 3-4 members of the football team being charged with assault over the past month, to now Coach Dumbo here playing like he's James Bond or something. Not only are they lacking institutional control, but they don't seem able to even grasp what that concept means, and yes, somehow Julie Hermann manages to skate through it all unscathed despite being one of the most disliked athletic directors in all of America.

What a shambles. God I wish we'd taken Missouri when they were there for the taking, and they *wanted* to be in the Big Ten, but it just didn't happen. Man...

Ha, not unlike the Gopher football and basketball programs the last 30 years.

Don't deflect this with the nonsense "truth and logic" you speak!!! :)

Yeah, those of us that live in glass houses... Shortly after the Clem issues SI rated that the biggest sports scandal of all time - bigger than the Black Sox scandal, Roy Jones Jr. getting hosed, 1972 US Olympic basketball team getting screwed, etc. I doubt it would make the top 10 now (people have mostly forgotten and IMO never belonged at #1) but there was a lot of call for the death penalty at the time and a question of whether MN should be booted from the B1G.

The AD should know about what's going on, but at the same time you pay coaches a lot of money to follow rules. I don't blame the coach for the assaults (sorry, no coach could prevent kids from doing stupid things), and frankly thought they handled it well by dismissing everyone. Contacting family members against NCAA rules is a different matter. I'm not sure how serious of a violation it is, but if the school gets any punishment the coach should be terminated. I wouldn't be surprised to see the AD "resign" once the dust has settled.

In the end, BTN is still on every TV in Jersey and New York City. When the massive BTN checks start coming in 2017 (year?) I know the Gophers will love having Rutgers in the conference.
