Rutgers University lost yet another football player to suspension Sunday – the seventh in the past two weeks.

The team declined to discuss the incident.

Rutgers, which plays at Penn State on Saturday night in its Big Ten Conference opener, has been besieged by off-the-field problems. “Until that investigation concludes I’ll have no further comment”. Six of those players were alleged involved in several home invasions.

When the primary suspension was introduced, Carroo stated: “Any more, I am going to simply make higher selections in my life and proceed to do good and present my teammates and the college that I nonetheless do have these good traits and people good traits”. Those players have been dismissed from the program.

Carroo spoke to the media about 45 minutes after Saturday’s game ended. When did Flood, who is under investigation himself by the school, become aware of the incident? “I take full responsibility (with) me being a captain and a leader of this team”.

Before he was dismissed from the program, Barnwell was in danger of being ruled academically ineligible. Flood remains under investigation by the university for potentially violating a rule forbidding coaches from communicating with professors regarding student-athletes’ grades. “That’s our guy all the way”.

This, of course, was a repeat of the 2015 Rose Bowl, when Mariota’s Oregon team drubbed Winston and Florida State 59-20 in the first College Football Playoff game ever.
