University officials leak information in newest report - RU Daily Targum

Rutgers University’s investigation into head football coach Kyle Flood continues to drag on toward the end of the probe’s third week as Flood continues to decline comment until the process has concluded. According to a report released this morning by Keith Sargeant of NJ Advance Media, the Rutgers academic support staff warned Flood not to contact a faculty member. The sources from the NJ Advance Media report, who were identified as “two university officials,” have requested anonymity while the investigation is ongoing. “It’s about Kyle trying to circumvent the process and trying to get the kid eligible,” the source told NJ Advance media. After practice Wednesday when a reporter from the publication asked if Flood was aware of the report and whether he had been warned by the University’s academic support staff, the head coach from Queens, New York, was taken aback. “So, what you’re saying to me is that a process, that I’ve been told from the university not to comment on, was commented on by people from the university. I’m going to continue to respect the process and I won’t have any further comment until — until the end of the process. Source: www.dailytargum.com
