I think it was youtube that did him in. It was all over ESPN yesterday and to a man commentator's were calling for his firing. The AD should go as well. He was told of this behavior by the recruitment coordinator a year ago and he instead fired the coordinator.

Pernetti resigned last week after a video was made public showing former men’s basketball coach Mike Rice shoving players and berating them with anti-gay slurs. Pernetti suspended Rice last December. The coach was fired last week.
Under his agreement, Pernetti is to be paid his base salary of $453,000 per year through June 2014 and a one-time payment of $679,500 in the next month. He gets the money even if he takes another job.
He also gets his $12,000 per year car allowance through June 2014 and health insurance and pension payments through October 2015.
Pernetti also gets to keep his Rutgers-issued iPad and laptop computer.
Rutgers agreed to represent Pernetti in any lawsuits related to his job as athletic director.
