No story on NJ.com implicating Rutgers in the Michigan scandals?
Nj.com sportswriters are taking the rest of summer off after their exhaustive World Cup coverage. Politi, Fonseca, and Sargeant published a total of five articles between them in the past 10 days. They deserve a break.

Thank goodness that annoying sport that most Americans don't care about is over here in the US. Yeah, probably off base, but could not escape the non-stop, nonsensical news stories about every aspect of the games. The sportswriters I follow on X for college football would randomly blurt out names and things about players/games that had no context. Kept seeing Messi, thinking someone was untidy. And then there were the signs on the NJ highways all the way into South Monmouth and Ocean County advising people to take NJ Transit to the Met Life. Good riddance!!

?Potential candidates include three former Michigan athletes: Iowa Deputy Athletic Director Joe Parker, Big Ten Deputy Commissioner Diane Dietz and Katie Fraumann, a senior vice president at DePaul. Parker and Fraumann previously worked for Michigan's athletic department.<

Look for Diane Dietz the B1G's Deputy Commissioner She is also a former All American Michigan Basketball player and in the Michigan HOF
She began her professional career as a lawyer working for law firms Paskin, Nagi & Baxter P.C.
Also was the CEO of Rodan + Fields
Dietz has also served as a board member for the Detroit Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau, United Way of Southeast Pennsylvania, Michigan Cable & Telecommunications Association, and the University of Michigan Alumni Association.

Every World Cup, hope springs eternal in the US. And after it ends, there is a torrent of think pieces about why the US isn't competitive. Lather, rinse and repeat.

I have more disdain and wish UM far worse outcomes than even state Penn. they are a vile institution and deserve unpleasant outcomes. RU will likely never have their athletic pedigree but glad we run a clean program. Look at the list of people fired or forced from UM in the run up to their cheated “natty” and it tells you all you need.

Their mascot should be a snake not a dog.
