I have no idea if Julie was any good or not, but her getting fired means that there are institutional issues and this could lead to NCAA sanctions.
The Julie firing is troublesome
- Thread starter RU from Jersey_rivals
- Start date
Yep. Hopefully Rutgers avoids sanctions by catching this early, self-reporting, and maintaining institutional control.
you guys are so obsessed... it's really sad.
This. This is why it's so important to follow up and investigate potential violations seriously and when found, self-report them, and even self-penalize, where appropriate. Assuming the report is the reason for Julie (and maybe Flood) being canned, since otherwise there were no grounds to fire her.
LOL only we could have a losing season and get sanctioned.
I believe the drug test issues have been going on for a while now (under Fudd).
Agree, Julie losing her job sucks, but unfortunately, regardless of knowledge, these things went down on her watch.
Plus 1 to Cali's thought.
Now Julie will be able to take some time off and have the much needed surgery to remove her foot from her mouth.
Julie losing her job sucks because you hate to see someone lose their job--but areyou, you and a couple of others have ignored the obvious and attacked those that had reasonable concern--believe me barchi would not have fired her if there was not more than ample reason
Julie's hiring is more troubling than her firing. That same mistake can't be made.
And perhaps you guys should pay a little more attention instead of blowing off the issue.
The NCAA is probably licking their chops right now. Now they have a chance to come down hard on a P5 team, after being accused of going soft on Miami and other "name" schools.
Those crooks will be sure to make an example out of us so Weber State, and Georgia Southern will never think of cheating.

Julie was honestly an idiot. She couldn't even do the most basic communication tasks. Barchi told her to let LeGrand know that he'd be a commencement speaker, just not the main speaker. Julie then leaves a voice message with LeGrand that he won't be speaking because Barchi chose another speaks for political reasons. She is a moron and a liability.
Why do you believe she's so underqualified? Just because football (which drives the boat) wasn't her focal point at Louisville?
Her actions have proven so, but beyond that, yes. She didn't touch football or basketball at UL. Those are important pieces when considering the next AD.
She was always a crapshoot, given the opportunity for reasons other than what she accomplished. Much like Flood.
Rutgers has to get this right now.
if an AD search is still needed, lets hope we don't put individuals on board with personal/pc motivated agenda's to grind out, that didn't work so well the first time
it should only be about who is the best person to lead athletics into the future.

I can see her blunder there, but as a PR guy I've had bosses have me do their dirty work as well -- telling someone they won't get to speak at an event they flew across the country to attend. Sometimes the guy in charge has others do that work because they don't know how to phrase it. It's POSSIBLE his directive wasn't clear.
In any case, I think if LeGrand thought he was going to be the commencement speaker, the President should have told me that he wasn't directly. She may have screwed up the message, but he passed the buck.
Well, it's probably a given that they aren't hiring another unqualified man or woman with no AD experience.
This.
Nothing says institutional control like a President taking charge and letting heads roll. The fact that Edwards was there when Julie was let go may be significant too. He's not just the New Brunswick Chancellor, he's the EVP for Academic Affairs (essentially the Chief Academic Officer) for the entire university.
Women's soccer coach hire was excellent........she seems to get into trouble when she speaks.
So, now that the axe has fallen, we're right back to crossing our fingers that the very same leadership organs at Rutgers, who hired Hermann and extended Flood, properly sate our appetites for respectability and ego in football and men's basketball. That seems like nothing better than rolling a die and praying for one side over the other five, after so many of us demanded we go "all in" on firing everyone.
I hope Rutgers "gets it right," but given our revenues, endowment, fickle fan support and legislative disloyalty, I think we're starting over with little chance of being in a better place three years from now than we are today.
And still, "I, for one, welcome our new ant overlords ..."
Other than lacking the important football/basketball experience (and having a bit of a history and coming to an athletic department trying to get away from controversy), she was the #2 AD at the most up-and-coming athletic department in the nation when she was hired.
I'm not saying she was the best choice we could have made, nor was she my choice, but anybody calling her out for being completely unqualified is flat out wrong.

The fact that Flood did not know or bother to read up certain rules and regulations regarding the academic advising mess is on Julie as well as Flood. She should have made that mandatory and verifiable, which is part of demonstrating institutional control.
I think Edwards was there as NB Chancellor who has responsibility for Rutgers New Brunswick. Rutgers is moving in the direction of having New Brunswick, Newark, and Camden operate as separate schools instead of branch campuses (much the way that UNC Chapel Hill, UNC Charlotte, and NC State all operate separately, even though they are all part of the University of North Carolina).

Yes, I know that. But Edwards other job (and a big one at that) is overseeing academics and by extension academic integrity at the university. The fact that he can potentially wear two hats at once (or a deerstalker
) during this mess is a bonus.
