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.
