Not if days before you learned you have a life altering health conditionI don’t think so at all. First weekend retired, I’d do the same thing
Dismissal?Well, the reason for his dismissal is that it's health related. Nobody said there was a violation of company conduct or a morals clause. So they are kind of covering it up right?
No, not really. Not sure I see any need to disclose anything.Well, the reason for his dismissal is that it's health related. Nobody said there was a violation of company conduct or a morals clause. So they are kind of covering it up right?
What?? That's your opinion which by the way assumes the worst. There have been numerous positive public statements about Hobbs from various RU people. What's your definition of " external compassion" ?? You have no evidence about anything just speculation. As an example many who retire after years of employment shun parties or celebrations.Of course I have no idea what will happen in the future. That said, the immediate public reaction of Rutgers collectively lacked the external compassion that is typically expressed by administrations in a situation like this. I respect that some folks prefer to choose not to think about this or acknowledge it, but a simple comparison to any other Rutgers employee (prominent enough to warrant a public announcement) who ever left Rutgers abruptly following a bad medical report or really for any medical reason would support this statement. It’s not random Reddit speculation.
That wasn't "what's being described" at all.What’s being described is affair with a subordinate who by all accounts wasn’t doing stellar in her position of employment, covering up the subpar performance via adultery & quasi nepotism, then resigning 10 days before the start of football season under the guise of health issues, compounded by lack of press conference & subsequent current trip with his wife (overseas, no less) soon after his health related retirement would be, unfortunately, the textbook definition of a coverup, if said actions prove to be true
This, exactly.IF all those things are true (a big if), I still don’t see it as a cover up. A cover up would require that Rutgers as an institution had knowledge of the inappropriate conduct and made efforts to ignore it and/or sweep it under the rug.
It’s entirely possible that upon being made aware of the supposed behavior, Rutgers took immediate action.
At the end of the day, none of this is known at this time so I’m in the camp of everyone shutting up about it until more info is confirmed…if that ever happens.
We’ve got a football game in 10 days.
Ha so true !Maybe not so much a coverup as more of a delay. Get to as close as the start of College football as you can, so the news dies quickly. When you have Clemson vs Georgia kicking off, nobody who cares about college football is going to care about a Politi article on an AD. Those who don't care about College football may kick and scream, but nobody cares about them anyway.
Speaking of Vegas one hour ago I tried to place my Over/Under Bet on Rutgers this season ( would picked the over of course) but the Sportsbook said Rutgers has been pulled from the bet lines. I asked why and the attendant said he had to ask his manager. Came back and said Rutgers was pulled due to a firing in the Athletic Department. I explained the AD situation. They weren’t sure when it would be back up for RU.Is that the same actor who was the black jack dealer in Vegas Vacation?
Life altering? Did you talk with his doctor? You don't no squat.Not if days before you learned you have a life altering health condition
Good point, especially : "perceived as lying by ommission. "
But if there's nothing to the accusation , no need to address it by the accused
The public's right to know shouldn't be having to deny rumors that are started because someone thinks something went on behind the scenes and others find that believable , even if proof wasn't provided just an accusation and promise of more later
Little less snowboarding and more paying attention to what’s actually being discussed would suit you well (that, and some additional reading comprehension as I never alledged Hobbs did anything)That wasn't "what's being described" at all.
And the only cover-up was the one you allege Hobbs did. RUs only job was to fire him for it, not hold a town hall.

Could go either way for different reasons but there is nothing strange about this. The Friday news dump and lack of public concern from our administration about a health issue significant enough to trigger an abrupt resignation like this. Those are the only strange things about this.Disagree. I think that’s extra reason to take a trip
A little less not being the board's most outspoken dumbass might serve you well?Little less snowboarding and more paying attention to what’s actually being discussed would suit you well (that, and some additional reading comprehension as I never alledged Hobbs did anything)
