Oh God.
There is this university in America, "Rutgers."
Rutgers is one of those big, good, not great, universities in America that plays "big-time"
college athletics. It plays college athletics...good, not great. Rutgers is a member of the same group of universities as Penn State. The group is called the "Big Ten;" it has twelve members. They count good not great.
The following things of the bird pump variety have occurred at Ruptures-just in the past few months:
1. The head men's basketball coach was caught on tape verbally and physically abusing players.
2. The "athletic director," and the president of the university saw part of the tapes-could have seen them all if they were interested (weren't)-suspended the coach for a brief spell and told him not to do it again on account of it was not "The Rutgers Way" (I am not making that up.).
3. Others, members of the pencil school profession, lawyers, politicians, were interested in viewing all of the above-referenced tapes, (did) and had a more unforgiving opinion of what they showed about the above-referenced "Rutgers Way."
A. After a period of reflection the coach was fired.
B. After a further period of reflection the athletic director "resigned."
4. Came then time to hire a new men's basketball coach. Ruptures decided to hire "one of its own," one schooled, literally, in The Rutgers Way, a graduate of its own self. Except he didn't, like, actually "graduate" from Ruptures, or any other, like, university. Which did not disqualify him from being head men's basketball coach of course as that would not be "The Rutgers Way."
5. Came then time to hire a new athletic director and Ruptures chose a woman of the female persuasion who used to be a head (women's) volleyball coach at another university.
6. Comes now a seventeen year old letter written by all fifteen then-members of the aforesaid (women's) volleyball team accusing the former head volleyball coach of verbal (and a little) physical abuse. The letter (unearthed by a member of the above-referenced pencil school profession) was of the "either you go or we all go variety," in response to which the head (women's) volleyball coach went, eventually ending up at the above-referenced "State University of New Jersey," Ruptures.
7. Ruptures has announced its intent to "stand by its (wo)man" (The Way) and said woman has announced her intent to stand by her Ruptures. Chris Christie, the like, governor of the State of New Jersey doesn't want to stand this anymore, wishes to "talk" with Rutgers about this and Governor Christie is...pointed in talks of this variety.
8. Will come the time when the "new" athletic director at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, will go the way of the "old" and she will be joined in the (temporary) unemployment line by the president of the aforesaid Rutgers. It is "The Rutgers Way."
