In a move that could be a sign of further action to come, Rutgers University has hired Bond, Schoeneck & King, a law firm that specializes in NCAA violations. Except, there’s a slight catch. The NCAA hasn’t exactly started poking and prodding and looking into what’s been going on in the school’s football program this season.
Rutgers’ senior vice president for external affairs, Peter McDonough, offered more to Keith Sargeant of NJ.com.
“Rutgers has retained outside counsel with expertise in NCAA infractions to help identify any potential rules violations,” McDonough said. “This is an ongoing and rigorous process that helps us to identify any shortcomings, to self-report them as required by NCAA rules and to remedy them as best practices demand.
