There was a Rutgers football media event yesterday, and it's good to see Paul Franklin writing about Knight football again. Other takes on the day seem to be focusing on Tom Savage and Mohamed Sanu seeing Toy Story 3 together.
Scratch John Fields. He could have started immediately for Rutgers at center, but chose Tennessee instead. Do Mike Rice and staff have any other options left?
Speculation abounds on which '10 football signees will qualify.
Brian Okam is expected to transfer to App State.
Watch the video of Hamady N'Diaye's introductory presser in Washington.
Darnell Stapleton shares his thoughts on the upcoming Rutgers football season.
David Cox moved to Rutgers as associate head coach with designs on being a head coach.
Jim Carr is now officially Rice's Director of Basketball Operations. Reports today also have former assistant Darren Savino going to Cincinnati. It's good to see him land on his feet, although it won't be fun to have another coach trying to recruit New Jersey players. Here's to hoping that Fred Hill moves to the NBA in some capacity.

Syracuse and Penn State to play at the Meadowlands in 2013. That's an annoyance. Syracuse fans aren't happy either, although a neutral site game plus a home and home isn't nearly as bad as giving up a home game to play in New jersey.

Anthony Davis is switching agents to Drew Rosenhaus? IIRC Davis met Sunny Shah through his friend Eugene Monroe. Rosenhaus promises that negotiations with the Niners will go smoothly.

iXP is funding Antonio Lowery's scholarship this year.

Via Danny Breslauer, former Rutgers soccer coach Bob Reasso has resurfaced as an athletic director at Husson.

Gov. Christie calls higher education his highest priority for funding increases if/when the state budget situation improves. Christie sees higher ed as a way to grow the state economy, which jibes with RU's research on the subject, arguing every state dollar spent for Rutgers returns five-fold.

Rutgers students are collecting signatures for a referendum to make marijuana the lowest priority for law enforcement in New Brunswick.
