So Rutgers just fired their men's basketball coach Mike Rice today. Why?



Wow. So many things there that alone would warrant automatic termination, no excuses. (The one that stands out the most for me is him throwing a basketball at a kid's head at short range.) But Rutgers initially only suspended him 3 games for this. Amazing only a slap on the wrist for something that could get your ass thrown in jail.

Then ESPN played that tape, people were unsurprisingly outraged, and now Rutgers does what they should've done in the first place.
