Men's volleyball drops league contest to local foe Rutgers-Newark

It was another rough night for the men's volleyball team. After coming off two disappointing losses this past weekend, Princeton struggled again, falling in four games to league rival Rutgers-Newark (7-18 overall, 6-6 EIVA Tait Division).Having beaten the Scarlet Raiders 3-1 earlier in the season, it seemed that the Tigers would have little difficulty pulling out the win again last night.

Firing calls Div. I ethics into question

I'm not sure if the Rutgers tuition bill is itemized, but if it is, students might see an additional charge next year.Next to tuition and room and board would be a charge on each of the 25,000 undergraduates bills: $22 ? Kevin Bannon Retirement FundYes, a "retirement" fund for Kevin Bannon, the head basketball coach for the Scarlet Knights who was fired last week for only posting a 59-60 record over his tenure in New Brunswick.So, rather than keeping the unsuccessful coach with the program, Rutgers bought out Bannon's contract for something in the neighborhood of $600,000.But what makes the story even more outrageous is the fact that it was only last summer when Athletic Director Bob Mulcahy gave Bannon ? the embattled coach ? a three-year contract extension.This is not the first time students are paying for the mistakes of a misguided AD who failed to look at the bottom line when dealing with big-time athletics.Two years ago, Minnesota basketball coach Clem Haskins was embroiled in a scandal that would eventually place the program under harsh NCAA sanctions.
