To apologize in person for insulting them on his show, radio host Don Imus will meet with the Rutgers women's basketball team "on an undisclosed date in an undisclosed location," the team told reporters yesterday. None of the teammates have yet received a personal apology, though Imus has apologized on air, team captain Essence Carson says. Whether they'll accept the new apology is unclear, the Daily Targum reports . "My teammates and family are insulted and angry," sophomore forward Heather Zurich said. "[Imus] has stolen a moment of pure grace from us," adds Carson.
