Rutgers running afoul of NCAA

Redwood Forrest · Dec 21, 2016

Impermissible recruiting contacts, failure to act on "positive" drug-tests, and the extension of inappropriate academic benefits, those are among seven possible NCAA rules violations committed by the Rutgers football program, according to an 18-month investigation.

The governing body sent the university a "Notice of Allegations" citing the alleged violations of NCAA bylaws in its athletic department, Rutgers announced Tuesday. Each of the seven violations concerns the Scarlet Knights football program.

It appears there is a rogue running lose in the Squeaky Clean Big Ten.

Getting rid of coaches and the AD probably helped a lot with NCAA.

If Rutgers is cheating in football, they aren't doing it right.

Yeah, Don LaFontaine....most folks don't even know his name.

You could always go James Earl Jones as well. Or Morgan Freeman. I'm good either way.

Maybe they should also check for free tattoos while they are at it.

Please tell me someone on this team is named Simba. It's the circle of (college football) life, after all.

When I saw that Rutgers had received an NOA on the ESPN Bottom Line yesterday evening, my first thought was "They're doing it wrong".

But the Rug-Ruts will always get grace for a win from yesteryear that followed the infamous headline "What is a Rutgers?" in ye olde Knoxville Sentinel - (link): a win led by the lovingly-named Coach Frank Burns (Eats Worms) that put the Ruts on Tony Soprano's radar before the NCAA ever came calling.

Actually, as all of us Scarlet Knight alums know, Rutgers played in the very first football game in history against cross state rival Princeton. Rutgers lost 7-6, thereby establishing a losing tradition that persists until today.

Given that they were probably the lousiest football team in Division 1 this year, they must have had help to be so bad while cheating. Did they hire Mike DuBose as a consultant?

Actually some random football fans knew that. I knew it and in fact won drinks for my table at a sports bar for being the only person in the bar/restaurant that knew it.

Shouldn't have counted since you're one of maybe five people left who attended that game (along with Verne Lundquist).

I actually don't remember how I even know this but I do. I am still fairly young and I would never attend a Princeton/Rutgers game.

Obviously they need to check with Ole Sis on exactly how it is done.
