Ray Rice is still a notable fixture in the record books of
Rutgers University's Scarlet Knights football team, but his presence is
fleeting in places often reserved for star alumni.
"At the end of the first quarter of every home game, they show a video that's called 'Knights of the NFL,' where they run through all of the current guys in the NFL who went to Rutgers, and Rice will no longer be in that video," said Greg Johnson, the sports editor of the university's student newspaper The Daily Targum.
On Sept. 8 TMZ released surveillance footage of Rice punching his wife Janay Palmer unconscious while riding in an elevator at an Atlantic City casino. The Baltimore Ravens, consequently, dropped Rice from the team and the NFL suspended him indefinitely.
Johnson spoke to WNYC’s Amy Eddings.
