It is probably a business decision for those clowns. They probably ask themselves the question, "How do I get more clicks so I can get my "News" organization the most value and/or revenue and I can keep my job and maybe get a bonus at the end of the year?" Their answer is probably... write mainly negative articles because not only people who do not like Rutgers will click on it but also RU fans because they are looking for coverage, plus they will complain to their online friends about it, which will result in more clicks.
In their defense, they have a job, and their job is not two write positive or negative articles but to find a way to get their "News" organization the most value/exposure/clicks/etc. Their formula is mainly write negative/critical articles so RU fans and non-RU fans will click on it.
I stop reading their stuff a longgggggggggggggg time ago. It is not about real reporting but instead is mostly about their opinions which I don't care to read. They are also hoping/looking that Rutgers screwsup so it becomes a national story (that is where the real money probably is). Think about Mike Rice scandal, Kely Flood Princeton undercover (lol.), Julie Hermann, the football player arrest scandal, etc.
