Rutgers Scarlet Knights head coach Kyle Flood is under some heat.

Rutgers football might have more to worry about than winning enough games to get bowl eligible again this fall.

NJ Advance Media reported Tuesday that Scarlet Knights head coach Kyle Flood is under investigation for allegedly having impermissible contact with a member of the university faculty in regards to the status of Rutgers cornerback Nadir Barnwell.

Whether Flood violated NCAA, Big Ten or university rules is in question, and it is possible Flood took action that violated his contract, but an investigation is ongoing.
