(AP) — Once the video went viral, Mike Rice's coaching days at Rutgers were over. Now the question is whether anyone else will lose their jobs — including the athletic director who in December suspended and fined Rice for the abusive behavior, and the university president who signed off on it.

The No. 4-seeded Orange won't have that element in their favor in the NCAA tournament's East Regional final. That's because Syracuse wi...
