Should Big Ten rescind Rutgers Invite?

They ought to. If there ever was a pure indicator of future disaster, we're seeing it happen right now.

Only Rutgers could screw up having Eric LeGrand as an alum
First the administration invites then disinvites Condi Rice, Accomplished Black woman with a very broad range of interests, including football, which might have been the broad brush focus of her address.

Then they do the same to their own alumnus, Eric Legrand.. also an inspiration.

So instead they intend to invite former governor Tom Kean, non-alumnus old white guy who will probably be resented as well for his ties to Big Corp and making Muslims feel hurt because of their involvement in 9/11.

Yeah, that will work.
Maybe Rutgers is racist ..
.. and the student activists and Poli Sci profs should mutiny and take it over... for the good of the masses', ya know.

At least they'll take the heat off the next Buckeye scandal. Or Northwestern idiocies... which could render the whole Big Ten moot due to ability to opt out of athletics altogehter, destroying Title IX.

 

No, they shouldn't. They're only interested in the tv market and could care less about Rutgers the institution.

The Northwestern thing is just a move to give players leverage. If the NCAA weren't so poorly run, it would have never come to the Northwestern players petitioning the NLRB. Fortunately, the leadership at the power conferences will take the reins and lead the NCAA to doing what both those conferences and the players want.

No fair! You can't cross pollinate threads! Too much taken out of context when you do that :naughty:

Updated...

Update: In a statement, Rutgers president Robert Barchi says LeGrand "will speak at our commencement" and that "it was never our intention that Eric would be the only speaker." A previous school release identified former New Jersey governor Tom Kean as "the 2014 commencement speaker" who "will deliver the commencement address."
