Finally, common sense, and a booster more concerned with RU than his own ego has spoken.
Politi (for once) totally nails the situation and the idiocy of allowing Towers, a Wisconsin alum with a connection to Flood but none to RU, commit NCAA violations on RU's behalf and claim to speak for people whom he does not.
If we're just going to take money from anyone, I'm sure James Franklin and Kevin Plank would be glad to extend Flood's contract.

The truth about Rutgers' situation isn't good for Towers or this prominent booster or some small fries like myself and other season ticketholders. We all talk the talk, but haven't given enough money to resolve this problem about football which is paying a qualified and experienced candidates fair market value. Had we all put our money where our mouths are, we're not having this debate. Maybe a coach from another P5 school is walking the sidelines of Rutgers with "stain".:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Maybe this prominent booster should have given more money the first time around. Next, would Rutgers really miss his donations? Let's call it like it is, Rutgers has poor leadership (Barchi), bad middle management (Hermann & Flood) and fake donors (Towers, prominent donor, me and others who complain, but don't give. Greg Brown is about the only person who actually gave a nice piece of change to help the cause (recruiting area).
Colorado is in a similar situation like Rutgers. There aren't any real big donors who by him or herself can make the difference. Still, if you can pool them together, instead of fighting one another, then you can accomplish something. In the last 10 years Colorado add luxury boxes, suites and administration offices on the eastside of the stadium all with donations ($20 million). Now they are opening their first indoor facility/ new locker room/ training center/ training room/ meeting room/ media center/ reception area (doubles as a wedding & party area) connected to the east and northeast sides of the stadium. Also under the practice facility will be an underground 300 space parking garage. About 1/3 of the money came from donations ($50 million). Last year Colorado build its first basketball/volleyball practice facility next to Coors Event Center (basketball/volleyball arena) all with private money. The board of Regents and politicians stepped aside and allowed the school to borrow against future Pac 12 earnings. The politicians even allowed Colorado State to start upgrading its indoor practice facility as well as new football stadium.
NJ biggest problem is too many BS excuses and people fighting for control of any project. Also, their a need to be recognized for it. Why not just work together.
