According
to sources close to the incident, Rutgers officials knew of coach Mike
Rice’s abusive behavior long before their November 26th viewing of the now-ubiquitous video
of him physically pushing players. An upperclassman—who remains
anonymous—approached the school’s officials early in 2012 to report the
suspicious behavior. According to a 50-page report compiled for Rutgers,
athletic director Tim Pernetti was so cognizant of the abuse, that he
had personally chastised Rice, sat in on his practices to monitor him,
and even mandated he see Rutgers’ sports psychologist. Pernetti was
forced to resign as athletic director on Friday after the lewd video exposed the cover-up.
