6 Rutgers football players won't report to camp as credit card probe continues

As Rutgers begins preparation for the 2018 football season Friday, a credit card fraud case that could involve at least eight players looms over the Scarlet Knights squad.

Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew Carey told NJ Advance Media Wednesday that his office was providing legal guidance to the Rutgers police as the university agency continues its investigation.

The recent involvement of the county, even in its advisory role, speaks to the scope and complexity of the case being brought by the university police.
