Yeah, you guys will be swinging from Julie's tits in a couple years. She's going to do a damn good job up there.

This was her hire, her screw-up and entirely her fault. She treated the Rutgers AD hire as a diversity hire she would make at Morgan Stanley.

And Louisville would gladly take her back, not because she's a woman, but because she's darn good at her job.

You are on!!!

Just another High Profile hire that someone has a Beef about so They drag up some cronies from the past, pay them something and They sing like songbirds. Happens daily in politics with appointments and hires. Hell the DNC has used those tactics for decades.

It is my understanding that Hermann did a great job at UL as Jurich's top assistant. But from what I have read, she had no direct supervisory experience with the UL FB, baseball and Men's BB programs. I thought Frazier from Wisconsin was the better candidate. My point I was trying to make is that my Alma Mater is governed by a bunch of PC morons. If the RU athletic department was 50% as successful as UL's, I would be happy.

Unfortunately, Rutgers University has always been a whipping boy for NJ politicians from both sides of the aisle. The RU presidency and AD position have been subject to political winds. And IMHO, it wouldn't shock me if our newbie current president, Hermann and certain members of the Rutgers Board of Governors are replaced.

Fire the AD making him the scapegoat for the presidents cover up and the poor decisions of the Rutgers legal department in the basketball abuse scandal.

Hire a new basketball coach with out a college degree which is totally against the job requirement and university policy.

Hire an abusive ex- coach for the new AD.

When is Rutgers going to get rid of the clown heading the insane asylum making all of these stupid irrational decisions. This PHD academic clown just keeps throwing more water on a grease fire filled with cover up after cover up. Who is the Rutgers president going to blame next for his own stupidity, rash and irrational decision making, and ineptitude. Tom P. I'm glad your free and walking with the settlement you received. Working for that irrational clown president must have really gotten you down.

And this program--with it's current mess administrationally, which hasn't advanced to the NCAA Tournament since 1991 despite being in what has been the best conference more often than not in a very fertile recruiting ground and a football program which has traditionally been a zero and an underachiever when they finally got good--is heading off to the B1G just because they're a stone's throw away from New York?

Houston needs to turn it's program into a train wreck that would be even worse than right after the the collapse of the SWC. We'll be in the SEC in no time.

Are you really this big of an idiot? Rutgers isn't in the Big Ten just for it's athletics (obviously) or just because of it's location (which is really good for the Big Ten) but it actually FITS with the Big Ten academically and has been on the Presidential Preapproved List that Delany has had for years.

Are they having issues? Sure they are, Universities have them all the time and it seems more and more are having them lately than ever before.

People like you that think like simpletons try to spread your simplistic thinking to the rest of the masses and that's just a shame.

IMO Rutgers needs to clean house, starting with the President, then the new AD and basketball coach. The President's decisions of late make him look like a moron, and all the bad publicity isn't helping him look any better...

Eddie Jordan is fine, the whole degree situation aside he's a class act and stand up guy. But yea fire the AD, the President, the BOG Chair needs to be made to step down too. The whole thing is a giant cluster****.

Barchi may be good at running a Medical School, but he is not equipped to be running a massive PRU like Rutgers.

Let's not be partisan hacks here the DNC and the RNC have both used those tactics for decades. That's politics for you.

Well, RU just fired a competent AD for the same thing. And according to the stories out there, they did know about both the incidents in question.

Denying both incidents instead of taking ownership of them and talk about how she learned from those experiences (even if she really hasn't) was the peak of stupidity on her and/or the administration's part.

If it was her decision to deny, then she should be fired for not knowing how to handle a potential media crisis. If it was the administration's decision to have her deny, then Barchi should be canned under the three strikes and you are out policy and she should be fired for failing to convince the administration that there was a better avenue to take.

In either case, she has proven she can't handle being top dog right out of the gate.

Cheers,
Neil

Ain't that the truth? None of this would have happened, if the people in charge were good at their job...

Yup.

She already rubs me the wrong way how she can come out and say that Rutgers said she will keep her job. How about "you know, I didn't realize this was still out there, that it had snowballed to this extent, and that I'm sorry it's taken this long and this sort of event for it to be brought further to my attention. I hope we can get to the bottom of this so I can ably serve Rutgers;" that kind of response when one is justifiably or unjustifiably accused and of that administrative level?

Nope, it's "Rutgers says the job is mine." It's that moment you realize this is probably her at her best in this capacity. Very good on passing the buck and shifting blame...but maybe that's why Rutgers' administration tapped her.

This has already become a Major Media scandal. It isn't just ESPN running with this but even Anderson Cooper is talking about it on his show. It is now officially a public scandal.

Whether it is right or wrong, she is not being displayed in a positive light publicly. I know the Rutgers President already came out and gave a public statement of support for her but that may have been a very bad move for him professionally.

Hermann claims to have no recollection of a wedding she not only attended, but was a bridesmaid at and caught the bouquet. That tells me all I need to know to conclude she is a liar, plain and simple. Sounds like she may be a serial liar as well given the accounts of her players at Tennessee.

Fire her for cause and same goes for Barchi. She's a compulsive liar and clearly doesn't represent the code of ethics Rutgers alumni and fans expect of high profile people at the University. Barchi is just completely incompetent.

I'm sure this isn't how Rutgers wanted to display their image to the B1G. They need a clean sweep at the highest levels. Incompetence like this can't be tolerated...

I've heard "sociopath" bounced around here and there. Looking down the checklist of what usually makes for one of those...she's eerily close. Certainly not all there, that's for sure...

I don't doubt it takes a kind of ruthless SOB sort of personality to get to, and remain in these positions at this level, but this stuff is giving me the creeps.

Agreed. They have to clean this up quick.

Yeah, he made the error of a lifetime by coming out so quick and supporting her. I thought much more highly of Barchi before but he has to be an absolute idiot to not grasp just how big this would become considering WHY she was being hired.

Is this new info?
