PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) Kyle Flood will coach Rutgers in its season opener against Norfolk State on Saturday despite an ongoing academic investigation.
Flood announced Thursday after practice there hasn't been a resolution in the investigation into whether he violated school or NCAA rules by contacting a faculty member about the academic status of a player.
Athletic director Julie Hermann attended practice, but didn't comment. The university has been examining Flood's actions for about a week.
Flood says he's not sure if cornerback Nadir Barnwell, whose academic status is in question, would be eligible to play Saturday.
