Rutgers suspended Kyle Flood three games and fined him $50,000.
Rutgers football will be without Kyle Flood for the next three games, and the Scarlet Knights head coach also was fined $50,000.
Flood has been under investigation for contacting a faculty member on behalf of a player whose eligibility was in question.
"This suspension is the result of the very detailed extensive investigation that we carried out over the past several weeks regarding the allegations that the football coach had an inappropriate contact with a faculty member who was the instructor of one of our football players, a contact that is in violation of the university policy,'' university president Richard Barchi told NJ.
