Rutgers athletic director Pat Hobbs abruptly resigns

[TheKnightclub]

Virtue signaling is noble and all, but public positions at public universities interest the public. If his private life was of no consequence, it wouldn't be discussed. However in this case, it may have been. His contract was worded in a way where it is. His exit could affect some of the programs many of us follow.

It's not a conspiracy theory to question things when they appear out of the ordinary. Press releases and media aren't always factual. People quoting them as gospel must live in a different universe than the one where these things are frequently used to control narratives. Skepticism is warranted.

With that said, if all the smoke is nothing but rumors and he truly did step down for ONLY health related concerns, it's pretty terrible to kick a guy while down for entertainment. Even with no rumors, the way it was handled would raise suspicion and a similar conversation would go on.

wouldn’t

I mean seriously, the more stuff that happens that seems to indicate the reddit stuff has not and will likely not be substantiated raises more questions in the minds of some posters.

@PSAL_Hoops --you are a great fan and a poster, but methinks you are giving @rutgersal 's theory way too much credence. al's a good guy and an enthusiastic fan, and he gets points for creativity, but IMO, too many people are reaching for something that is likely not there. At this point, Pat is no longer the AD. His private life is (and always was) private. I wish Pat well, and a life of happiness in his retirement. He did a great job here. As far as Schiano answering questions- you missed the part where he said his job is to get his team ready for the football season, not to clutch pearls or wring his hands over why his boss left and how is ex boss is doing. He is laser focused on getting the team ready for the season, which is TOTALLY in character for Greg. Just my opinion.

You want to believe that nothing else is there, but the circumstances of his departure are odd because its so abrupt. And the news was released on Friday.

Under normal circumstances you would at least deserve a cake and recognition at a football game, given his tenure. But these are not normal circumstances.

Furthermore, he and his wife took the next plane to Ireland. So he wouldn’t have to answer questions.

Stop the madness. Give it a rest . Why all the speculation and bs theories. If there is anything it will come out .One way or another some posting stuff look real silly, or worse.
