Hey defenders
At some point, you have to realize that there needs to be accountability at the top.
If I am CEO of a major organization and 5 percent of my staff gets their names in the paper in a negative way, well, let's just say I won't be CEO for long

my suggestion was to stick to that, and leave this thread.....a lot of RU fans do not want to hear
a PSU viewpoint on scandals, no offense...
you are always welcome to discuss football, that goes for any fan of any program.
Alyssa, he acknowledged that in his post. He isn't bashing us--sometimes the truth comes from the outside and it stings, but there's nothing he said that anyone on here has a basis for contradicting. We are a shitshow right now and need to get discipline back in the program. As for him going back to his own board, he already said he doesn't like it over there--that should tell you something.
Alyssa, KJB fully acknowledged that his problem was bigger, way bigger than ours. He has been a sane and helpful poster on this board and does not deserve any of that.
So I hope it's possible this isn't as bad as it first appeared. The SL article gives me some hope.
Good God, it's beginning to feel like when you go to check out at the supermarket and you see a completely off the wall tabloid headline like: "Man marries alien; commutes to Earth from Mars every day", you shake your head and wonder who the hell could ever believe anything like that?
But then, when a guy like Carroo, someone I've always looked upon as THE prototypical Rutgers man, gets suspended for something off the field...not once, but twice, (one being, ugh, indefinite)...it makes you start to wonder how many miles per gallon the guy who commutes from Mars might actually be getting? -I mean, all of the stuff that's hit the fan in the last 2 weeks or so is beginning to seem absolutely surreal.

This. I can certainly see a scenario where Carroo intervened and pushed the females apart and in the process the one that was not his acquaintance fell down during the break up of the fight. Right now, some people here are going straight to the worst case scenario thinking Carroo outright decked a woman with a right hook.
Hey, man... there's this guy... he invented a car - and it runs on water, man!
So that would explain the arrest and having to make bail? (as opposed to being ROR'd)
Sorry, guys.
Thanks for sharing. What is on Round Table is meaningless unless they are eyewitnesses. I will wait for the police reports.
Well, this is the first I heard of him being arrested. The SL story doesn't mention an arrest. Sounds like you know more details than many. Not trying to downplay anything. If you know the details, let it rip.
If you are going to post this, please share with us what "seems pretty bad, very bad" Are you concerned we can't handle it? Just write allegedly before you write what happened.
I don't doubt you, but do you have a source? I don't see it mentioned anywhere else.
Sorry to a fellow Knight but I took his comment as he meant it. I actually appreciated it. It puts things in context.
Yeah things around here are shitty right now. They are nowhere near what ttfp went through.
He's not lying. A poster in the know has said this is going to get very very ugly.
Not going to share premium info, sorry. Hope you understand..there's a reason they charge for that.
Just saying from what "people in the know" are hearing, it's not good for anyone.
Why is it that people assume "the news" has 100% of all sources covered? Especially in this day and age. Guys like Duggan and Politi, they're not making phone calls to actual sources. They're making phone calls to information desks. The notion of "investigation" in journalism died a long time ago.
Oh now it hits home. The star WR does something stupid and this is the "final straw"...time for the HC to get fired! Carroo is 22 years old, Flood isn't his legal guardian. The ridiculousness of it all is all the lightweights who think because the kid decided to come back for his last year of eligibility he is a saint. These players are young adults, the coaching staff doesn't hold their hands off the field. I saw an interview with Carroo after yesterday's game...he went on about how the team needed to "finish" and how everyone will be held "accountable". An hour later he goes out and gets involved in some stupid off field argument. Sorry that is on Carroo..not the HC at Rutgers. As for the possible replacements from the OP ....about 4 of them are currently under contract and unavailable. Also laughed at the suggestion of Urban Meyer....yeah ...RU will pony up about 6 mill a year for a guy who while the HC at Florida had about 35 arrests in 4 years....sounds like the disciplinarian that RU is apparently in dire need of.
Flood needs to instill in these guys that they represent the program (and ultimately the head coach). It's obvious he either hasn't done that or the players don't respect him enough to care. Either way it's a terrible reflection of the HC.
My bad--I thought you were looking for confirmation in the broader media that something had happened, not that he was arrested. That will come out shortly, no doubt. 4Real's sources are pretty reliable.
