NEW BRUNSWICK

— Rutgers University will hold a press conference at 1 p.m. today to discuss the fallout following the firing of basketball coach Mike Rice.

Rutgers President Robert Barchi and Ralph Izzo, head of the Rutgers Board of Governors, will address the media at Winants Hall in New Brunswick, campus officials said. The news conference will be to "discuss intercollegiate athletics," according to a university announcement.

The event will be the first time Barchi has publicly discussed the firing of Rice. The Star-Leger reported this morning that

athletic director Tim Pernetti is also out

. It was not immediately clear whether Pernetti would be fired or resign.
