FILE - In this Sept. 14, 2013, file photo, former Rutgers football player Eric LeGrand looks up at the stands during ceremony where his jersey No. 52 was retired at halftime of an NCAA college football game against Eastern Michigan in Piscataway,N.J. LeGrand says the university offered him the chance to give this month's commencement, then reversed course. He made the statement on Twitter on Monday, May 5, 2014, hours after the university announced former Gov. Tom Kean would be the speaker. He says the university pulled the invitation "for political reasons." Rutgers spokesman Greg Trevor said Tuesday that he would look into LeGrand's claims. (AP Photo/Mel Evans, File)
