Rutgers AD Pat Hobbs "abruptly resigned from his position effectively immediately Friday" after nine years in the role. Deputy AD Ryan Pissari will "serve as the interim athletic director." Hobbs guided Rutgers in the early days of its time in the Big Ten, "taking over a department with a scandal-filled football program, several sports sitting dead-last in the league standings and a notable absence of facilities in comparison to their peers" ( Newark STAR-LEDGER, 8/16 ).
