So what is the common denominator between the last three scandals involving accusations of athlete abuse at Rutgers? Follow along with me and see if you can spot the link:
1. In 2013, basketball coach Mike Rice is fired after video surfaces of him hurling basketballs and shouting abusive language at his players -- video that, despite having the DVD in his possession, the university president never bothered to watch.
2. Then, later that year, Julie Hermann is not only hired as athletic director without fully vetting her past but receives the full support of the university president despite allegations from a dozen volleyball players that she was an abusive coach at Tennessee.
