Responding to outrage from around the nation after videotape of men's basketball coach Mike Rice assaulting his players and spewing homophobic slurs at them was aired on ESPN, New Jersey's Rutgers University fired Rice at mid-morning Wednesday.
The 44-year-old "visibly distraught" Rice, WABC in New York reports, told reporters earlier in the day that:
"I've let so many people down, my players, my administration, Rutgers University, the fans, my family who's sitting in their house, just huddled around because of the fact that their father was an embarrassment to them. It's troubling, but I hope at some time, maybe I'll try and explain it. But right now, there's no explanation for what's on those films, because there's no excuse for it. I was wrong. And I want to tell everybody who's believed in me that I'm deeply sorry for the pain and the hardship that I've caused."
The video, from the team's practices, is disturbing. We followed the story as it developed today. Scroll down to see our earlier update and our original post.

'Fired' Could Be Next F-Word For Rutgers Coach Seen Berating Players
COROnation Street Civic Theatre, Auckland
A giggling gaggle of women a third his age cluster around William Roache at the bar. Freshly lipsticked and highly coiffed, they hone in on the star of the COROnation Street stage show after its opening night like birds do to prey.
They want another photo with him. They want to snuggle up real close for their own personal encounter with the tousle-haired actor.
Roache, a glint in his 80-year- old eyes, obliges.
The older audience members - and there are many many pensioners - are equally fawning.
Loitering in the Auckland Civic Theatre's lobby to catch a glimpse of him, their adulation is palpable. He's been in their front rooms for half a century. His unyielding dullness filling our screens and, apparently, fuelling some pretty intense fantasies for some viewers. Seeing him in the flesh must be quite surreal.
Roache links arms with one after the other, smiling, kissing, signing. Maybe the actor really has bedded the thousand or more women he alluded to in the press last year.
As Roache himself said: "There's life in the old dog yet!"
Any thought to the controversy Roache stirred up in recent weeks - he implied victims of sexual abuse are paying for past sins - appears to matter not to any of these Street-struck fans.
His second newsworthy comment, flirting with a daytime TV presenter last month telling her of his urge to smack her bottom "You naughty girl", seems only to have added fuel to this playboy's fire.

COROnation show: The word on the street
IT'S gratifying to see that when the SA Revenue Service comes knocking the money it collects doesn't just go to buying piles of The New Age newspaper for security guards at the SABC and Eskom to prop their coffee on.
No, it's far better that government departments use your hard-earned cash on full-page advertisements, cunningly disguised as actual news.
You might have noticed last week's full-page advertorials in the Sunday Times, City Press and Independent, designed to masquerade as real news, entitled "Absa and AllPay lose bid". Giant pictures of Social Development Minister Bathabile Dlamini adorned the page, above captions saying "Vindicated".
The subject of this ad is a major issue involving one of the country's largest tenders, worth R10bn, to distribute social grants to 15million South Africans.
The tender started an almighty spat between Absa's subsidiary AllPay (which lost) and Net1 (which won).
Net1, led by charismatic businessman Serge Belamant and listed on Nasdaq and the JSE, is said to have done nasty things to win the tender.
This was after the earlier welfare tender was cancelled in 2009 when one of the judges, Norman Arendse, said he was approached by Gideon Sam in 2007, saying Net1 had an open chequebook for adjudicators.
Then in August, the High Court ruled the tender illegal because of various problems, saying the lowering of AllPay's scores was "unfair and irrational" and seemingly done for an "ulterior purpose".
Despite that, the court refused to scrap the tender as it would prejudice the beneficiaries, who needed the cash to survive.
So Absa appealed to the Supreme Court of Appeal to have it scrapped.
Language has been in the news lately.
Last Tuesday, on April 2, the Associated Press announced it would no longer use "illegal immigrant" to refer to people living in a country without permission.
The previous week, Alaska Republican Congressman Don Young referred workers in his father's farm as " wetbacks ", although he subsequently apologised for the racialised slander.
Why is language so important? What are people so upset about?
The word "wetback" is a reference to the fact that many people who cross into the United States without authorisation must cross the Rio Grande. Mexicans and non-Mexicans use the term colloquially. The US government referred to their 1954 mass repatriation campaigns along the southern border as "Operation Wetback".
In her research with Mexican immigrants, Ruth Gomberg-Munoz found that undocumented Mexicans use the Spanish equivalent (mojados) to describe themselves, even if they had not actually gotten their backs wet in the Rio Grande. Nevertheless, Gomberg-Munoz chooses not to use the word in her own writing, because many people find the word offensive.
It should not be difficult to see why wetback is offensive. It makes light of a dangerous crossing: last year, at least 477 people died attempting to cross over from Mexico to the US. Aside from that, when you call someone a name like wetback, you are making one action they committed into a permanent aspect of who they are. This critique can also be applied to the "i-word".
Living without permission
People who live in the US without permission from the US government are commonly referred to as illegals, illegal immigrants, illegal aliens, undocumented immigrants, or unauthorised migrants. The term you select to describe them has consequences.
The first term "illegal" is grammatically incorrect - as it uses an adjective (illegal) as a noun. A person could have entered the country illegally, but that does not mean it is appropriate to call them an "illegal".
