Special BOG meeting called for Friday
- Thread starter mikemarc1
- Start date
If it is just a meeting to pass a resolution to authorize the $$s to hire external firms to "Lawyer Up" not catastrophic. Who knows? But we should assume that the SL will paint this as a "crisis" meeting. While it might be that, just because SL says so don't make it a fact.
"anticipated or pending litigation" - - that is the kind of stuff that usually has to percolate through extensive & lengthy legal counsel review and analysis before it would be placed before a governing body to evaluate strategies for going forward. My guess - Unlikely to be anything related to very recent events. Likely related to something that may have occurred quite some time ago.
yea, I would think the kids who had his jaw broke mommy and daddy are suing.
Like that will stop our Pulitzer prize winning journalists from innuendo, insinuation and yellow journalism!
Maybe it has to do with the legal implications of someone leaking information regarding a student-athlete's grades.
Are there any pending lawsuits from Mike Rice, his players, Tim Pernetti, Don Imus, The Tyrees, The lady that got bumped to the black lot after years of buying football tickets on the secondary market?
I heard it's to hire patent lawyers. Apparently it is unclear if the plans for the Death Star are in the public domain. This surprises me, that thing was originally designed a long, long time ago.
Inside word is that the University is going to take a position on the Pork Roll vs. Taylor Ham controversy and they want to "lawyer up" to anticipate the impending backlash.
I could be completely wrong but if the agenda is suppose to involve discussion of litigation it may be that the meeting minutes don't have to be made public (given to SL when they make an info request). Normally, under state freedom of information law they would be is my guess. This way, it allows for a much more open discussion of the issues without having to worry that what is said will be on the front page in a few days.
Would be nice to agree with this, but given RU leaks like a sieve, I wouldn't be surprised if the SL crew gets their hands on something.
Still difficult for NJ.Com to get their hands on something when they have their head stuck up their arse.
How is this a special meeting when it was already posted on the 2015/2016 BOG meeting schedule? How is this news? http://governingboards.rutgers.edu/board-governors/board-governors-meeting-schedule-2015-2016
As above- one student had jaw broken by another student. 5 students expelled.
Hire lawyer. Wait for lawsuits.
Hire lawyer. Wait for lawsuits.
People are making jokes that it is nothing but the begining of this thread is exactly like the begining of the police at practice thread
If they don't get their hands on something, is it possible that they could just make something up?
For instance they could interview whoever is responsible for cleaning the floors afterward. If he says something to the effect that it got pretty dirty in there during that meeting, that has the potential to make a good headline, quoting an unnamed source. Conveniently skip the part about it pertaining to the tables and floors. The fact that things got pretty dirty during the meeting should be interesting enough to generate some clicks.
Am I sharp enough to be a SL sports reporter, or do I have to come up with better than this?
Friday's BOG meeting topics are not yet revealed to the public. Therefore, the agenda with regards to athletics and litigation is purely speculative. Besides, much of the action took place off campus and are outside of Rutgers jurisdiction, and presumably its liabilities.
As usual, there is this freakish need to turn everything into a worst case scenario
NJ.com is linking the RU BOG meeting to the recent "athletics matters" and "anticipated or impending litigation." Staffer who reports this news (Kelly Heyboer) is an education reporter, not a sports "journalist." This is smart for the NJ.com.
Ha. So where did the "emergency" athletic/legal aspect of this come from? I'm not reading that site's article.
Sorry guys, it wasn't posted to the site as recently as two days ago. See Google cached version:

Heyboer thinks she 's a sports journalist...now let me go before I say the wrong thing...this BOG meeting was scheduled some time ago...so if it does involve something other than the norm we know where the leaks are coming from ...politically appointed BOG member or members...it would be appropriate to suspect such at Dear Old Rutgers.
If there is 'a' or 'a few' specific individuals who are breaking rules of confidentiality and selectively leaking information for the purposes of damaging individuals and the institution - it would seem that there would be a very good chance that a select group of people already know exactly who the culprits are - and have know for some time. Hope there is a way to nail these individuals in a way that renders them 'radioactive' for involvement in anything to do with RU for the rest of their working life.
The vendetta from faculty against all things sports needs to stop. They are cannibalizing the school and unnecessarily forcing people to choose sides.
