Rutgers team to weigh in on Imus storm

NEW YORK - The Rutgers female basketball players called "nappy-headed hos" by Don Imus are ready to voice their opinions on the remarks that led CBS Radio and MSNBC to suspend his morning talk show for two weeks.

Word of the suspension, which will begin Monday, came several hours after Imus sought forgiveness for statements that have caused widespread condemnation.

Members of the Rutgers women's basketball team and coach C. Vivian Stringer planned to offer their feelings Tuesday on the gathering storm.

MSNBC, which telecasts the radio show, said Imus' expressions of regret and embarrassment, coupled with his stated dedication to changing the show's discourse, made it believe suspension was the appropriate response.

"Our future relationship with Imus is contingent on his ability to live up to his word," the network said late Monday.
