Knight’s Ransom: Rutgers Paid $120K to Firm It Later Dropped in AD Search

Rutgers University recently made headlines for paying $120,000 to TurnkeyZRG, a consulting firm it later decided to drop in its search for a new athletic director. This decision follows the controversial resignation of former AD Pat Hobbs, who faced scrutiny over an inappropriate relationship with a gymnastics coach. The situation raises questions about the university's hiring process and the implications of such financial commitments, especially in light of past controversies.
