“It’s particularly troubling when an athlete is injured because the legislation is intended to protect against a scholarship termination as a result of injury.”Chad Hawley, an associate commissioner for Big Ten policy, declined to comment on allegations Butler attempted to revoke player scholarships without cause.An appeal hearing was scheduled for June, where Moy argued she had done nothing to merit having her scholarship revoked.Tom Stephens, chair of the university’s student-athlete advisory committee, emailed Moy one day later, informing her the panel voted to uphold her appeal and reinstate her aid if she stayed at Rutgers.Moy opted to stay, ensuring she keeps her scholarship money.

Rutgers University is a national leader in how such claims are addressed.”The allegations mark the third time in six years that Rutgers coaches have been accused of abusive tactics, following The accusations also come at a time when experts say scrutiny of athlete abuse in college sports has skyrocketed following the 2018 death of University of Maryland offensive lineman Jordan McNair, who collapsed after a grueling preseason football workout.“You would think that after Mike Rice — who really opened the eyes of the world to abuse in college athletics — that this particular school would have better procedures and protections and would be watching this more closely than any school,” said Greenberg, who also represented a swimmer in pending litigation against Rutgers and Martin in 2017.

“If my assistant athletic director wasn’t going to be on my side and help the players out, then I didn’t see change happening.”Now at the University of Tennessee, Collins is seeking damages from Rutgers to cover more than $100,000 in tuition as a result of lost scholarships and medical bills related to her participation in the softball program.Greenberg, the attorney, said Rutgers never produced a formal response to the 23-page legal notice he sent to the school in July. If they didn’t make the time, they would have to start over. In one alleged incident, he boarded the team’s bus and told the women it smelled like “period blood.”Seven players said Butler attempted to run out players she didn’t think were good enough from the previous coaching regime. “It really ruined everything for her.”Smith appears to have been reinstated before the end of the 2015-16 season, but the following year the Owens softball program folded.Rutgers claimed all coaches undergo background checks, and the school said it was aware Smith was investigated and cleared at Owens.Rutgers also noted, “he was later honored as conference coach of the year.”There is no record of Smith earning any money from Rutgers in its 2018 university payroll database. They also qualified for postseason play for the first time since 1996. At some point, another player also collapsed and had to receive care from the trainer, Collins and other players said.The episode was one of numerous troubling incidents in a program ruled by fear, intimidation and abuse, Collins and six former Rutgers players and five parents told NJ Advance Media.Butler, 35, had been hired from the University of Toledo in June 2018 to revive one of the university’s worst athletic teams, bringing along her husband Marcus Smith as a volunteer assistant coach. According to multiple players, at their next practice, a group of team members were told to run six, 100-yard wind sprints — one for every dollar over — and each in less than 17 seconds, until some of them were left crying, collapsed or doubled over in exhaustion.First-year head coach Kristen Butler directed the March 12 sprints from the field, players said. There’s a smooth road to Rutgers for transfer students from New Jersey's community colleges when you use NJTransfer as your guide.

She feared if she spoke up, though, Butler would make the team run more.Trembling and woozy, Collins tried to keep up, she said, until she blacked out.“I just remember my eyes opening, like, ‘What happened?’” Collins said during an Oct. 18 interview in Knoxville, near the campus of the University of Tennessee, where she transferred this fall.Even as she laid on the field, Collins said, tended to by an athletic trainer, the punishment didn’t stop. All transfer applicants seeking participation in the Rutgers EOF program, with or without prior EOF status, will be considered on a space and funding available basis using specific criteria established by the school at Rutgers where you plan to enroll. Players said they were eager and excited to play for Butler, who, they added, warned them in summer 2018 that big change was coming.Yet the seven former Rutgers players all said they were stunned by the intensity of Butler’s drills. Butler called her in for a meeting on May 20, and, according to Moy, “she just flat-out said, ‘We don’t want you back anymore.’”Moy said that Butler instructed her to leave the room “to go sign the transfer papers.” She declined, but Rutgers’ office of financial aid issued Moy a letter two days later saying her scholarship was cancelled, according to the document obtained by NJ Advance Media.Another scholarship player said Butler did the same with her, citing a list of complaints in their exit meeting and presenting the player with transfer papers to sign.Butler and the university said no single coach has the authority to revoke scholarships.“Scholarships may be reevaluated for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, when student-athletes engage in serious misconduct,” Butler said.In January 2015, months after the Big Ten announced a commitment to scholarship protections, Power-5 Conferences adopted an NCAA rule that prohibited reducing or not renewing scholarship aid based on a student’s “performance or contribution to a team’s success; an injury, illness or physical or mental medical condition; or any other athletics reason.”Tim Nevius, a former NCAA investigator who serves as the executive director of the College Athlete Advocacy Initiative, said Rutgers’ actions appeared to contradict the Big Ten’s 2014 proclamation that an athlete’s scholarship “will neither be reduced nor cancelled provided he or she remains a member in good standing with the community, the university and the athletics department.”“They say these are four-year, guaranteed scholarships, but the fact is coaches and schools find ways to get out of their commitments,” Nevius said.
