I have ZERO confidence in Flood's recruiting ability against the big boys in the B1G or his coaching ability.......getting rid of him should be a behind the scenes effort.
This fund just leads to more negative press against Rutgers football....that's not good for recruiting.
It really is. You'd think they'd do something right by accident once in a while.
Student callers are paid, but we should be nice.
I will tell them to reschedule the call for when Flood is fired AND RU apologizes to the OP and the rest of us for its latest blunder.

I'm tryingThat Concerned Alumnus person in the article is a very well-spoken fellow. Respectful, knowledgeable and on-message. Rutgers is lucky to count him among its graduates.
The school has not reached out to me. I have not received anything from Rutgers or GoFUndme. Let the people speak.
ill tell you that my workday is completely shot right now.
Or maybe they've looked into what legal actions they can do and haven't found any?
They can be upset with it and can even ask the website to take it down, but I really don't think the website has any reason to do so.
I swear, Rutgers is run by the biggest idiots on earth. Don't know how much longer I can support RU athletics. WPUNJ might be my focus soon as this is just out of control.
They aren't paid, at least not all. Athletes are required to do a certain number of hours (not sure about football or basketball), including walk ons.
Here is a pretty superficial and just really dumb video analysis of the campaign

I think you are a little harsh. This is a lot more complicated then you think and I think they are taking the safest approach to avoid any issues.
I'm not against the idea of a grass roots campaign to bring change, I did and still do think it's inappropriate for this site to allow itself to be used as the launch site for it. That said, someone at the Rutgers Fund is going to have to explain how on earth it is going to reject a five-digit donation from a group of mostly alumni. Because money does not grow on trees here, if they haven't noticed.
Only at Rutgers.
Only at Rutgers.
Im all for Flood getting fired and for the occasional Rutgers administration bash but I think Notinrhouse and some others are off the deep end here with their faux wadded panties.
what do you really think the school was going to say here...oh yes we love to take the money raised to fire Coach Flood. It does not work that way. Flood will not be fired until the end of the year. I have no problem with that. The school is going to support him until they decide they won't. Stomping up and down like children demanding it be done IMMEDIATELY and that they take the funds is a little childish and you all know I can be a child on these boards

Apparently you didn't do any research and just posted your opinion. That's OK I guess it's the norm now as most newspaper's don't do any either.
no, the money goes to RU regardless. Its a statement.
It's a message. And based on the response, message received.
King, I know that we may disagree on the purpose, but i hope this is opening your eyes as far as what the school does and how it runs. That is alarming.
I love that we got video coverage, but based on the insane amount of spin on it... it was done as a favor to someone within RU admin.
message by who, not sure what you are saying...just because RU doesn't accept it doesn't mean Flood is coming back. It means nothing
Avoid issues by publicly deriding the effort and refuse funds that have no strings attached? Hate to see them tackle the issue.
Nobody ever accused Rutgers of being well run, but rejecting and unconditional $10,000 donation from alumni is the stupidest thing I've ever seen haha
You really don't think this has made its way to Barchi? Really? All Barchi wants is for nobody to bother him about athletics. Well, stuff like this forces the issue.
Put down the Lo-Bro and take a sip of your BCAAs.
The campaign is 60 days.
The appropriate comment from RU was "Kyle Flood is our head football coach. We have no further comment on any movements, grass roots or otherwise, to change that."
This way, they don't create a media firestorm...AGAIN.
The campaign has essentially grown by a 1/3 since their comment 3 hours ago. Including 2 of the 3 largest individual donations. As usual, they zig when they should zag.
