PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) When Rutgers opens the season against Norfolk State Saturday, coach Kyle Flood seemingly is going to lead the team on the field at Rutgers Stadium.
How long he continues doing that is uncertain in the wake of a university investigation into whether he improperly contacted a teacher about a player's grade and the arrest of five players on Thursday in connection with home invasions, armed robbery and assault, including the player at the center of the grade probe.
The players arrested and charged, including three starters, were suspended from the team by athletic director Julie Hermann on Thursday.
