In all seriousness, NPR ran a piece a couple years ago about how Chinese immigrants use slang to navigate the streets of New York, and in the podcast version on This American Life, the person interviewed said that Rutgers Street is known as Garbage Street. The written piece explains a little bit more, even if the answer isn't as satisfying as you might hope.
I'll bet, but Pat Kraft wouldn't touch that job with a fifty-foot pole right now. He simply wouldn't have to, and to be honest, neither would any up-and-coming AD who was trying to make all the right moves for his or her career. No AD is going to want Schiano shoved down their throat as their first hire, nor are they going to want to have to answer to one clownish booster who seemingly calls the shots - the same guy who was so hot for Hobbs to hire Chris Ash.
Great points. Folks should remember that Hobbs was hired to put out the fire that was RU sports (basketball scandal, AD scandal, football mess and other messes let alone fund raising). Ash was essentially hired already and they told Hobbs to talk to him but he was the hire that was already determined (Hobbs had no say). Hobbs should have cleaned it up and left on a high note in retrospect before the RU curse got him. He's a lawyer and law school dean first and foremost, administrator second and AD further down the list. Retirement from his AD life beckons sooner that he thinks I believe.
That's a very well-written column by Politi. Hard to disagree with any of what he says.
The basketball scandal was long before hobbs replaced the female ad....this is the main issue the highest point of admin the president school board and internal counsel failed the institution...pernetti wanted to have some discipline put on rice he was told to off and Rutgers has had a lack of vetting past that point
They should just have an outside investigator on retainer at this point.
Abuse at Rutgers goes back further than Rice! It’s a time honored tradition on the banks! Did they forget about Bannon and the naked free throws!? Just having to attend Rutgers is abuse enough, why do they feel the need to punish these poor kids further?
Kids have left various teams because of abuse. Who can blame them, especially if none of the adults in charge are taking them seriously.
