Leading up to this past Tuesday, preseason training camp had appeared to be going pretty much as planned for coach Kyle Flood, with a couple of exceptions. There had been more players sitting out with various degrees of injury than any coach would like. There was such a close battle for the starting quarterback position, Flood backed off his initial 7-10 days declaration to make a decision. Every Rutgers supporter anxiously awaited the final decision on who would start at quarterback, with the expectation that Flood would announce after practice on Tuesday.
Instead of clarity at the most important position on the team, Tuesday became a firestorm of allegations, investigations and suspensions for the Rutgers football team.
