The Rutgers football program has had six players kicked off the team for arrests in recent weeks. Six. Oh and one more is suspended indefinitely. Now, comes word their head coach has been suspended three games, fined $50,000 and is clearly lacking integrity. I see no way that Kyle Flood coaches another game at Rutgers.

Contacting a college professor about the academic standing of a player is a no-no. Being told not to do it and then doing it anyway, via a personal email account so "there's no public vetting of the correspondence"... terrible. BUT... to tell that professor it's "just between you and me," to have a personal meeting with said professor where you don't wear college gear in hopes that you "wouldn't be recognized in public," AND even tampering with a paper turned in by a student-athlete... are you kidding me?! Oh, and then to claim you want the best for your players and tell the investigator, "I understand now that it was against the rule that I was unaware of at the time." Sorry coach, nobody's buying it.

This comes after six players were kicked off the team for being arrested for home invasion and assault charges. Earlier this week a seventh player and one of the star's of the team, Leonte Carroo, was suspended indefinitely after being arrested on domestic violence charges following last weekend's game.

It may not just be the football program that needs a reset at Rutgers University, but a new head coach is a must, isn't it? Can you for a second believe Iowa's coach, Kirk Ferentz, would do anything like this? Kirk Ferentz and integrity are used in the same sentence all the time. It's too bad Kyle Flood apparently hasn't seen the pages in that book.
