now I know errabody ain't gonna agree with me...but....

#1 - their scholarships are at risk if you make too many waves
#2 - an 18 - 21 year old MALE, while legally an adult, for the most part are still immature kids. these guys are still KIDS. 18 -21 year old KIDS. being bullied by an adult.

honestly I do believe if a coach tries the same crap in high school, one of those high school players is gonna beat his ass.

And get called out for being a prima donna/hard to coach etc. Shitty system

Whistle blower protections are a HUGE problem. Especially in sports.

Imagine if this was UK or Duke. The fans would have sent death threats, hate mail, etc... to the guy brave enough to submit this video.

But it wasn't UK or Duke. It was Rutgers. So the guy got fired -- enjoy your ****ing lawsuit, Rutgers assholes.

If Orson Wells was still alive, he'd say 'Big Brother is here and he is us'.

Since I'm getting little red blocks for that comment, I figure I should let everyone know I was being sarcastic.

I'll be 50 this year. I can't remember any part of my life I would have let anyone push me around or degrade me like this.

If these players didn't want to deck this guy, you think they would have come up with a plan to get him caught red handed, like this. There is no way I would have put up with this.

So is anyone watching ESPN? They carried the press conference about Tim Pernetti resigning. The analysts are ripping everybody apart, they are all saying they need to clean house - President, board of directors, everybody.

Really? Coach was an ass, they fired him. So now they all need to be fired? Okay. Am I off base here?

And if all this is going on, how the hell did he recruit anybody? Why wasn't there mass transfers?

You are. It's one thing to of made a mistake in hiring a huge asshole that you end up having to fire. Yeah it sucks and you'll be embarrassed, but life goes on.

It's another thing to have an asshole coach that's abusing kids and try to cover it up.

Should have gotten his ass whipped.

Wow...

http://espn.go.com/new-york/mens-col...tting-12m-ipad

Former Rutgers athletic director Tim Pernetti is getting $1.2 million in salary, plus an iPad, car allowance and more than two years of health insurance coverage under a settlement agreement.

The Associated Press obtained details of the settlement Monday through an open records request with Rutgers. The Star-Ledger had previously reported some details.

Pernetti resigned last week after a video was made public showing former men's basketball coach Mike Rice shoving players and berating them with anti-gay slurs.

Pernetti suspended Rice in December 2012. The coach was fired last week, after the video was made public. Under his agreement, Pernetti is to be paid his base salary of $453,000 per year through June 2014 and a one-time payment of $679,500 in the next month. He gets the money even if he takes another job.

He also gets his $12,000 per-year car allowance through June 2014 and health insurance and pension payments through October 2015.

Pernetti also gets to keep his Rutgers-issued iPad and laptop computer.

Rutgers agreed to represent Pernetti in any lawsuits related to his job as athletic director.

The university agreed not to say anything negative about Pernetti to the media or prospective employers, and Pernetti agreed not to disparage the school publicly, though he is allowed to speak truthfully about the Rice situation. He also agreed to cooperate in any investigations by the school, NCAA or legal authorities.

Rice was fired last week not for cause, meaning that under his contract he is in line to be paid just more than $1 million, or 75 percent of his remaining salary, plus a $100,000 bonus for staying on the job through the 2012-13 season.

Grown men check
Sports check
Nobody has visible motor disabilities check

I see no problem with the coaches actions here. When females and young teenagers are put through this then I would question the coaches teaching method. from the video, I've seen he managed to hit some of the men in the head.. ok he ****ed up there, but he didn't get up in there faces and throw the basketball till there faces started bleeding.

The part that bothered me was throwing at the guys nuts.

And when you represent a university, it doesn't help your case to be calling your players slurs.

He should be fired. If anything, because this proves he is a shitty coach and no player would ever get recruited for rutgers knowing they'd have to deal with this guy.

Not only that, but they sucked, so...no dilemma there.
