I don't think this is a bad article. Yes, NJ.com wants to sell papers and get clicks which is why this is news.

My issue is why was he using a personal email acct? The prof can't prove it is actually Flood emailing him from a personal account. Any of us can create an acct KyleFloodRU@Gmail.com or something along those lines. At least if it came from his Rutgers email they can provie it is Flood and the information is staying within the Rutgers network.

It seems the faculty wants to maintain the firewall where coaches and profs can't talk about grades and have only academic support as the liaisons.

My guess is that although the rule about Coaches not contacting profs about grades is on the books it is not followed to the letter of the law. While not as bad as the UNC scandal this will raise a huge issue across the NCAA because I am guessing all major div 1 schools deal with similar issues.

this thing will never die if fans keep posting thread after thread after thread......along with links to the stupid nj dot com story.

Please stop feeding the trolls. Don't post links to stories just re-hashing the same news. Better yet, don't post links to any of this crap. Better still, stop reading the "articles" yourself.

To the substance of your post. Why would they not be able to prove who sent the email? Why would it matter what the professor gets paid? Why would this raise a "huge issue across the NCAA?"

This is a non-issue. It goes on everywhere, its not a big deal. If a rules infraction occurred its is a very minor one and will be dealt with.

When are the mods going to start merging posts on this topic?

Trolls? If you had premium, you'd realize there's some interesting info that was just released.

does anyone here have any devices where their work email is not set up? This ain't state secrets we're talking about.. though the S-L is happy to benefit from the current climate where the mention of "personal email" denotes the presence of pure evil (I wonder what the S-L's take on the actual hillary email scandal is).

What if Flood only used his personal email because he hapened to think of this issue in one sane moment of his day where he was using a phone or tablet to handle some personal business.

I don't know what happened in this case, or who the professor is, but just thought it's worth mentioning that when I was at Rutgers (business undergrad) I had a bunch of professors who were teaching one course, weren't considered full time professors, and made basically no money because they were business execs teaching a course either because it was something that interested them, or they believed it would help them further their careers even more in their chosen field.

I'm sure my business strategy prof could have been described in the same manner and made to sound like some poor kid...when she was a COO of a multibillion corp and making easy six, possibly seven figures.

Thanks for sharing. I'm getting tired of the "if you had premium . . . . " statements. The info will undoubtedly be out later today.

I don't have premium but I heard about Floods, 'even if he is ineligible...' comment., that doesn't change the fact that Flood shouldn't be talking directly to the professor, he could've and should've used his academic support staff.

But I'm sure RU could find that out pretty easily via IP, especially if Flood was using an RU issued computer, laptop, tablet and/or phone.

Also, Flood could have already admitted it was him...communication which he has stated he has done in the past (maybe with univ email, phone call and/or personal conversations).

Maybe he mistakenly sent this one email via his personal email account forgetting he was till logged in vs his RU account.

And more importantly sent to a RU email account.

My work email forwards some of my work emails to my Gmail account and sometimes I quickly respond there (which has been my core email for about 10 years now) rather than off my work email. So yeah I could totally see a situation where a work email goes out via phone on a personal account.

This just in...professors have season tickets....Flood makes robo calls to ticket holders.....the end is near.

We need to mark this day down on our calendars and remember it for all posterity: I am in complete agreement with you on this subject.

Hopefully that is the case...but I'm sure RU is probably looking at RU Email accounts of multiple RU Football players to see if they received emails too from Flood's personal email account as I'm sure RU can't/won't get access to Flood's personal email account data base.

WTF...
Did he ask for a change of grade or pressure for a particular grade.
If he didn't, I'm very sorry it will never happen again should be fine.
What's so tough?

I agree. This should be so much more cut & dry. It would be at every other school.

Probably should have just served alcohol in the locker room instead.

Litmus test for rutgers "fans".... If you don't side with Flood and the football team on this one... You are not a fan. This ain't cheating.

 

[JQRU91]

It's not a matter of whether or not Flood was cheating. It's whether or not he made a procedural mistake. And if he did, he needs to stop doing it.

Right. One game suspension at max and move on. This whole thing is nonsense. As long as he didn't try to threat a professor, this is very minor. Move on.

The amount of threads that can be generated over the course of a few days is just as impressive as the length of new NJ.com articles after a new small tidbit is revealed.

What a pandering headline -
NJ.com - Flood may have emailed a part time prof making less than $5k

first - "may have" ?? - meaning they have no idea - just speculating
second - So What? what does it matter what the prof was being paid to teach the course - unlikely that this $5K is their only income for the year - the course is not being taught by an indigent person. since they are speculating - it could be possible that the prof is independently wealthy or is on the faculty of another university, or works full time in industry ... who knows!
... but what is the point ? ... is certainly come across like NJ.com is,in a cartoonish way, trying to say that it is like some mega-powerful Flood is oppressing the poor impoverished professor

It is not the negative stories that are so irritating - it is the egregious over-reaching distortions, the contrived speculative pandering that demonstrates a total lack of professionalism that becomes so repulsive.

Who cares? Call me when our players are going to no show classes or players are assaulting people. People can say Dailey or Nelson , but they were kicked out of school within hours of the news. Unlike some places who try to get hardship waivers for sexual offenders and then cover up for them for over a year.
