Utah St. informs football coach of intent to fire

Utah State said football coach Blake Anderson has been told he'll be fired for alleged noncompliance of Title IX policies, with Nate Dreiling named interim coach.

www.espn.com

Apparently somebody associated with the Utah State football team was accused of sexual misconduct or domestic violence in Spring of 2023.
The head coach was made aware of the problem.
The coach investigated.
He appears to have not reported the allegations to the school in a timely manner.
Both "investigating" and "not reporting" violate university policy.
An external investigation was conducted.

The university notified the coach of their intent to fire him, but gave him 14 days to respond, in accordance with his employment agreement.
The Deputy athletic director and director of player development were also fired. Presumably they were part of the cover-up.
The defensive coordinator has been named interim coach for the 2024 season.
Athletic Director Diana Sabau met with the team and the football staff Tuesday to inform them of the news.
(apparently she addressed the team in her human form, not her digital form)

Its pretty sad that we are clowns compared to Utah State.

“Insularity of the Athletics Department.”

This phrase captures why I am slowly slipping away from Northwestern fandom. Yes, you may argue that student athletes at NU were always apart from the rest of the student body. You may argue that greater physical separation existed in the past than today.

However, with the mega conference, BTN money, NIL schemes, unconstrained and frequent transfers, the student-athlete experience will resemble that of the mainstream student less and less as the future unfolds.

Lynch tries to spin insularity as a good thing.

No, not a good thing.
