The Heat Shield Burns

"Reluctantly" Rutgers' athletic director resigns this evening in the wake of the growing blowback over men's basketball.

Curious at this point is one statement from The Chronicle story:

". . . . following the review of an independent report, “the consensus was that university policy would not justify dismissal.” "

So who advised that course?  Baker Rule still in play.

We'll see what Monday brings for the president of Rutgers, who earlier said:

"Tim kept me fully apprised, and I supported his actions," Dr. Barchi said.

Does he support today?
