PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Incoming athletic director Julie Hermann believes her failure to deal professionally with players, on and off the court as a volleyball coach at Tennessee, has taught her much and that's part of the reason she is "uniquely qualified" to run Rutgers' scandal-plagued department. Time will tell. Speaking to reporters briefly during a campus visit Wednesday, the embattled Hermann — selected as Rutgers' first female athletic director on May 15 — said she is looking forward to June 17, her first day on the job, and is preparing to lead Rutgers into the Big Ten Conference.
