Don’t know how to link. But very bad story for Rutgers atheletics on a macro level. Pat Hobbs really screwed this one up!
National news story on AWOL stringer

Is the link you are referring to the women's BB message board ?
Man, everyone is an idiot who doesn’t know what they’re doing according to you, yet linking a URL is akin to splitting the atom…

Rutgers Basketball Coach Stringer Out On Paid Leave For 1 Year
Legendary Rutgers women's basketball coach C. Vivian Stringer has been on a $1-million paid leave since last April, for reasons unknown.
I knew she was on LOA but thought the length was unspecified so only CVS could end it.
Now it seems like RU has a say because of the extensions given to Stringer to continue on her LOA.
I would guess it's a health reason that the RU HR Department has a say in extending her LOA and feels thay have no legal grounds to deny extending when Vivian request one.
That's not saying it's fair to the program, just that legal complications might arise if an extension request is denied when Stringer asks for another extension.
In my POV this mess is entirely on Stringer refusing to admit that she can't return fully healthy and will drag this mess on until she's ready to give up the ghost , even at the expence of the program.
She will not end this because she needs the money and everyone in the Rutgers athletic department knows it and it is beyond a damn shame what she is doing she has disgraced herself!!!!!!!!!!

That patch article stated how RU dominates the big ten when she coaches…LOL
I thought the money was guaranteed? Otherwise, what is the point of saying she could have a most likely PR administrative role at the same funding?
it's incredible that contract extension was announced literally a week before her leave started
Lou, you are the king of making unnecessary threads when there are already threads on the same topic.
North Jersey.com (App.com) Article on Stringer (Behind Paywall)
Kind of odd that the two writers are the ones who write the hit pieces on Rutgers Athletics spending.
rutgers.forums.rivals.com
Did she actually say that? Wow. What does the salary of the men's coach have to do with her? Did someone force her to sign the contract?
I also am under the impression that Stringer wouldn't lose her salary if she moved into administration so I also don't understand the she needs the money so won't give up being HC.being implied.
I think she doesn't want to leave coaching and at the moment health issues prevent that, but she feels that the doctors will give her a bill of health that makes it so she can return as RU's HC
( That is just my gess without any knowledge of the issue)
As for the money she's making as HC or if she leaves coaching and moves into an administrative position, I'm sure at her age she's making sure she puts enough into a trust fund and paying an insurance policy that will make sure her daughter is well care for when C.Vivian Stringer is no longer capable of doing that.(my speculation)
I don't begrudge anyone who tries to take care of family that can't take care of themselves from doing what they need to do in order to protect that family member when they are around and when they won't be around.
Last RU Women's HC that felt she was being underpaid compared to what the men's HC was making , went to Illinois
So it's not something new coming up.
No one forced her, but you can bet she made the best deal she could and that's the right of every HC when negotiating their contract.
I believe the tweet you're mentioning was about women's pay in general compared to a man's salary, not her situation.
Interesting that on top of a million $ salary while not working she gets a $235,000 retention bonus. Personally, I would not use a woman who makes more than 98% of the men in America to do an equal pay commercial. There are a lot of females who would be more appropriate examples of equal pay issues.
Giving Coach Stringer all the sympathy and understanding she may ever deserve/need in this awful situation, the single worst part of this article is:
"The parents of players on the Rutgers women's team told the Bergen Record they feel Rutgers put on a "masquerade" to "cover up" the fact that Stringer was not there."
Watch...Rutgers will come out looking like the bad guy here, no matter what. I'm starting to doubt whether Coach will even speak up on the school's behalf for having supported her. I hope I'm wrong. Understanding that there may be legalities like crazy in what's going on, it's hard to figure why Coach can't come out with any kind of statement herself.

That’s reasonable. Think we need to respect her privacy - but if/when she returns, think she should be more transparent.
That is the issue. This could be a no win situation for Hobbs/administration, once they gave CVS that ridiculous contract extension.
Stringer and whoever is advising her, has had control of the story from the get go. They had the opportunity to get ahead of the rumors but they chose to remain silent and to continue to string along not only the fans but the administration with their continued leave of absence extensions. In my opinion this is an extremely selfish act. And if it is true that CVS has medical/cognitive issues, then her advisors are bordering on abuse of power.
She knows if she stays silent this entire mess will be laid at Rutgers feet and cast them in a negative light. I have no doubt if Rutgers tries to remove her from her coaching position unwillingly, she will raise hell to every media outlet that will listen. Hobbs and Rutgers are completely fvcked, she'll go full on scorched earth. She's had a year to figure out what she wants to do. There's no other way to put it, Stringer is holding them hostage because she knows she can.
Yes sir this has been going on way before this contract she has burned any good will she had all those previous years by doing what she has done to Hobbs and Rutgers this past 6-7 years
I wouldn't usually nitpick, but your title is wrong. AWOL stands for absent without leave. That does not describe CVS.
