Rice: It's Time For a New Jersey

On April 8, 2010, Mike Rice signed a one-year contract extension to remain Head Coach at Robert Morris University (RMU) through the 2016-2017 basketball season.

Now, less than one month later, word has leaked that Rice has agreed to take the same job at Rutgers.

Some people are going to insist that Rice should have honored his contract with RMU.

I'm not one of those people.

Deep down, you know that you'd follow the money, too...

  1. Completely agree. Who would not want to improve the well being and financial situation for their family. Aside from the money, this is a signifigant promotion for a man that was unheard of 2 years ago unless you were a rabid RMU basketball fan. He has to ride the notoriaty from this past season and take advantage now.

  2. His value would never be higher than it was after almost beating 'Nova in the tourney. Great move by Rice.

  3. Rutgers? Rutgers? Its not the fact that he left RMU, its the way that he did it.

  4. Hutch thinks Rice's departure from RMU is like Ben Howlands from Pitt. What do you guys think?
