A report in reference to the ongoing investigation of whether coach Kyle Flood improperly contacted a professor regarding Nadir Barnwell surfaced today. The report by NJ Advance Media's Keith Sargeant, states two university officials are the unnamed sources claiming that Flood was specifically told not to contact the professor regarding Barnwell's grade for the class. According to the report, Barnwell's status was determined before the summer session as he did not accumulate enough credits to be eligible for the fall academic year.
Here are several quotes from the unnamed sources:
"The communication with him was clear as to the status of Nadir's grade and he still decided he could fight it,'' said one official, who claimed Flood "had a long paper trail of information'' and still contacted the professor.
