FILE - In this May 6, 2010 file photo, Rutgers University Athletic Director Tim Pernetti, right, presents Mike Rice with a jersey after being introduced as the new men's head basketball coach at Rutgers during a news conference in Piscataway, N.J. A person familiar with the decision says Pernetti is out as Rutgers athletic director. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because an official announcement has not been made yet. The school will hold a press conference on campus at 1 p.m. Friday, April 5, 2013. Pernetti dismissed basketball coach Mike Rice Wednesday after a videotape aired showing him shoving, grabbing and throwing balls at players in practice and using gay slurs. The scandal has now cost Pernetti his job some five months after he didn't fire Rice when the video first became available. (AP Photo/Rich Schultz, File)
