- The veteran lawyer who conducted the second investigation said he’d never experienced “this palpable level of animosity and disdain” for a university compliance office. Coach Taylor apparently tried to oust an NCAA compliance officer who warned him of rules violations and repeatedly harassed her.
- Both he and senior associate athletics director Matt Doyle were warned after the first investigation uncovered “inappropriate conduct.” The second investigation concluded the problem was ongoing. “I do not find any excuse” for Coach Taylor’s behavior, wrote the investigator.
- Kudos to @espn.com for uncovering this! It seems especially important considering there has so far been no clear outcome from the second investigation—which concluded in July.
