Rutgers would be loathe to fire them, due to laws protecting whistleblowers, yet I don't see how Flood ever has trust or a working relationship with them any more. Even more reason why Flood should have been fired.
Can we stop with the honorable man defense?

"Some level of tension is natural," Barbour said Tuesday in a phone interview. "They are highly competitive people."
