Disgraced Rutgers former athletic director's golden parachute After ignoring player abuse, Tim Pernetti will get $1.2 million, an iPad and a Rutgers-funded car allowance

After watching a video of basketball coach Mike Rice physically abusing players and berating them with anti-gay slurs, former athletic director Tim Pernetti recommended that Rutgers University suspend Rice for three games and fine him $50,000.

It was only after the video became public that Pernetti made the decision to fire Rice. Outrage ensued over the shameful lack of accountability from the administration and athletic department, leading Pernetti to resign last week -- with a very, very cushy settlement package.
