Report: Rutgers Coach Kyle Flood Suspended 3 Games

NJ.com/PISCATAWAY — Kyle Flood has been suspended for three games as Rutgers footballcoach and fined $50,000 following a university-led investigation into rules violations and amid a recent string of off-field transgressions involving players on his team, university president Robert Barchi told NJ Advance Media.

Barchi spoke to NJ Advance Media only 15 minutes after notifying Flood of the suspension and fine, he said.

Barchi said players had not yet been notified.

“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,” Barchi said. “That is what it’s about. That is what it’s in response to.”
