There's now more allegations that current Rutgers AD Julie Hermann covered up abuse by one of her coaches. While at Louisville, women's lacrosse coach Kellie Young was accused of making a player with a torn ACL do push-ups at an airport terminal, kicked a player off the team bus to make her find her own way back to the hotel, and even made two teammates sign a contract barring them from speaking to each other.
Of course, the cover-up of player abuse was the whole reason that Rutgers AD job was open to begin with. And allegations of abuse, which included firing a pregnant employee, surfaced from her time as Tennessee's volleyball coach. Then allegations of firing an employee for making a sexual harassment claim surfaced from her time as Louisville's Assistant AD.
At this point, one can only hope the Earth cracks open and swallows Piscataway so that we never hear the name "Rutgers" again.
