Actually, I am interested in determining how this plays out in Chris Christies New Jersey. Yes, we look at it from a sports perspective, and from New Jersey being a reasonable state with reasonable citizens, but Chris Christie is trying to get a Republican nomination for President (which means reasonable citizens be damned).
Any chance he comes down hard on the Rutgers athletic department, thinking there are fewer New Jerseyians who really care than there are national Republicans who might look at him if he came down hard on "football thugs" (yes -- hear the dog whistle there) committing crimes while the state is paying for their education? Any UConn fan Republican want to suggest to him he shut down the RU athletic programs to sell himselves to Republicans outside the northeast?
