Rutgers football players

Rutgers has hired a Kansas-based law firm to conduct a thorough review of the school's troubled football program and help identify potential NCAA rules violations.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) -- A former Rutgers football player accused of stealing cash and marijuana from another student in a dorm room has had his bail reduced.

Bail for a former Rutgers University football player charged in connection with multiple home invasions was cut in half Friday, but the defense said his family might not be able to raise the money.

At least two of the Rutgers football players who allegedly took part in an unprovoked assault on a group of people in New Brunswick this past spring have had previous run-ins with the law.
