Flood hid it in the Princeton library somewhere....
Why would you say that? Not disappointed at all..typical response though

its buried under the bowels of the RAC because it didn't find what they wanted it to say and found too much of what they didn't want it to say
At this point, who cares,the program has been sent in a different direction,and I hope for the better.
It said "Just pay them both to leave. Rutgers fans will be happier in the long run."
Ha. Yeah right. Flood and Julie were fired but nothing found [roll]
RU held onto the information, breaking all sorts of laws along the way, until they could use it to fire Flood for cause and save RU all sorts of money. Don't you recall. It was guaranteed.
Considering that Barchi said that neither of them was fired for cause, and the risk he would have been taking if there had been a report that would have justified firing them, I think the odds are against there being such a report. (And if there were such a report, the odds against it leaking by now are pretty high, too.)
OMG............ there is no report............. there never was going to be any report after Flood got 3 games and then got fired.
No but I know the people who worked on it.
If you think that Flood AND Julie were fired because of the play on the field your are a fool.
The report is complete. The law firm has been paid. Beyond that it's up to RU.
If there is a report and there are any violations and they withhold said report then they are complicit in such activity and open themselves up to additional scrutiny.
If they were smart they would release it on Friday morning. or New years Eve.at about 10 pm.or Memorial day
One way or another its coming out might as well get it out in the open.

That I can believe. But the idea that the report is bad and somehow hasn't leaked yet seems . . . unlikely. Remember, Barchi himself said there were no more bad revelations to come.
So someone at the law firm violated the attorney-client privilege to give you info on what's in the report? And they plan to work for other schools? Not likely or entirely inept.
I guess 5781 is still banned...
Heard the same as Whitebus. There was an internal investigation, a report. I am not sure if there is anything damning to the NCAA but pretty damning to our reputation.
Report gets filed away and Julie/Flood let go without cause, pay them and more forward.
Pure speculation on my part here- even if nothing touched Barchi, his lack of being on top of these things could have damaged his rep too.
So this works out for everyone...

Yeah. That is the curious part. Not that Flood was fired. That was kind of a given after Nebraska (if not before - you can disagree). But that Hermann was fired at the same time, certainly points to that report containing something (covering up failed drug tests is the supposed rumor, right?) that made it worthwhile to let her go.
On the flip side - I cant beleive that such things wouldnt be leaked (although I guess they have been if we know about them here) or that they would be OPRA proof/
Death, Taxes, and NOTHING at RU can be kept "in house".
These things are undeniable.
If there was a damning report, it would have appeared in the SL by now.
If there were NCAA violations revealed, then RU would have announced some self-imposed sanctions. This is the sort of thing the law firm they used helps with.
The notion that there is a damning report that's being hidden is preposterous.

I don't think anyone thinks that. Even Barchi said as much..
But don't think the report is BAD..Rutgers did what they had to do and investigated. If it was bad, SOMETHING would have been leaked.
Heck, whoever read it "leaked" it to you. Someone else must surely know. Not buying that its bad.
If you wanted to say I'm a fool, then you want the contraction form, you're, not the possessive form, your.
Also, if you wanted to create a hypothetical scenario in which you get to call me a fool, why go with one that is even remotely debatable? Much too weak. Why not say that if I believe the earth is flat, then I'm a fool? Or that if I think two plus two equals five, then I'm a fool. Much stronger statements, you see?
Or just drop the conditional altogether and call me a fool. Be direct, man.
It took four or five months for the video of Mike Rice to leak to ESPN AFTER the whole incident was made public.
My belief is that Julie was fired because of donor pressure or, perhaps more precisely, because big donors cut off the spigot because they were mad about how she got the job. I know that one of the scenarios people have talked about here was that she was told to raise the money to pay off Flood and couldn't do it
Just a bit off on your timeline. More like 3-4...not a big deal..but definitely stretching the truth.
It took a couple months for the video to be given to ESPN. But the contents of the video were known at the time of Rice's suspension. There was a lot of discussion on the BB board about whether Rice should have been fired, or if his old school Bob Knight antics were acceptable. Of course the reaction to a description of the video content is different from the reaction to actually viewing the video.
remember a lot of fiefdoms at Rutgers....I can pretty much guarantee that NO ONE in this thread or basically anyone who has commented on it actually had access to read it. What people have heard is word of mouth, some of its slanted to fit agendas whether it be anti Flood or anti Julie. Not saying there isn't stuff in there that may hold them culpable but in the feeding frenzy that some were pushing to get rid of either, its very easy believable that some things were stretched as for as how damaging the report actually was...and it doesn't look like any NCAA violations so despite some getting their panties in a bunch over how horrific the report was, its most likely not. Not pretty but exaggerated and probably nothing different than you might find at other power 5 schools
Lol. No your not a fool in anyway except under the conditions stated above. And I think you know that the off the field issues are the reason Rutgers replaced the head coach and AD.[cheers]If you wanted to say I'm a fool, then you want the contraction form, you're, not the possessive form, your.

Just to be clear: that video was provided by Eric Murdock or those associated with him as part of his attempt to get money from Rutgers because his contract had been terminated the prior summer.
How long before Politi writes a story about this since some claim that he gets his leads from this board? I think in all fairness RU should release the results since it was rumored that the contents was another factor in firing Flood and JH.
