Couple good Ash articles:
- Thread starter lakejj
- Start date
That second article, while dated today, is an old one. It says "when the players return on Jan. 19."
Thanks for posting.
Saw on a side article that Lane Kiffin is getting divorced.

I think Ash is more upset about RU quitting against OSU than Flood was.
That makes me think that the only thing Ash would ever completely lose his cool over (something close to Mike Rice-style) must be having a team quit on him. I guess that would be a bit more likely to happen during this time frame where he's coaching a team where he didn't recruit more than a quarter of the players.
Interesting parallel btw post flood and pre schiano Rutgers as Greg knew he needed to get the guys to buy in and not quit regardless of the score. Ash likely has a similar hurdle to face though with a cubbard not nearly as bare as Greg had when he first arrived.
"He changed where players live. The previous dorms were built in 1974, and it showed: Ash called them “some of the worst I’ve seen in 20 years of coaching.” So he called student affairs, which moved players to different, better, newer dorms."
A small thing but more evidence that Rutgers as a institution still has a ways to go to be competitive. What other school would the football coach even have to ask for this consideration? Of course the best dorms are going to the student athletes, not even a question. Only at RU does the head coach have to fight this sort of bureaucratic inertia, if not outright resistance

What's worse is that in the past I believe this request had been flat out denied. I don't think that Ash was the first to try. I think that is evidence that the change of viewpoint may be coming from the top.
I think that the NCAA only recently changed it rules about campus housing segregation for student-athletes. Read up on the "wildcat lodge" for UK basketball.....or better yet, the insane dorm that Oklahoma U jocks get to live in.....there's an online tour of that.
