If #Rutgers doesn't fire Mike Rice, why would any parent allow their kid to play there?

I wasn't aware that "first offense" applied to physical abuse by a coach.

I'm sure no parent would accept anything less than one-strike-and-you're-out. Not to mention the revolting verbal abuse. Some educator.

This will not end well for Mike Rice. Allegations of bad behavior are one thing. Video takes to new level. Hard for Rutgers to hide.

If my son played for Rutgers or a coach like that he would have some real explaining to do and I'm still gone whoop on him afterwards! C'mon
