Rutgers head football coach
Kyle Flood has been fined $50,000 and suspended for the Scarlet Knights' next three games, according to a Wednesday report by NJ Advance Media's
Keith Sargeant.
Flood's suspension is the disciplinary action decided on by Rutgers' Board of Governors, who met last Friday to discuss the institutional policy Flood violated in reaching out to a professor about the eligibility status of a player.
Junior Scarlet Knights cornerback Nadir Barnwell had allegedly been struggling in the classroom and was in danger of being academically ineligible since May, per Sargeant's report. Barnwell played in 10 games with six starts last season and is a
criminal justice major.
The university posted a finalized report of Rutgers' internal investigation on the matter. An email exchange between Flood and the professor showed Flood requesting a grade change for his player.
