Has anyone gone through college and not known of a teacher/student or coach/athlete relationship? I must have know of at least 5 or 6 including my track coach and another involving a womans basketball coach. Everyone knew about it and didn't think much of it
How about the women's national soccer team a few years ago where 2 team members were married to their college coaches? Major Applewhite was sleeping with a student trainer while coaching at UT. They held his raise back for a year.
In the late 90s, the U.S. Volleyball team fired a coach and also punished the player for negatively impacting team chemistry.
This is so overblown. These are two adults and it is very common on the college level. If every college was sued for these relationships, we wouldn't have colleges anymore.
Now, there is less of a tolerance for it and coaches involved in the actual relationships have been getting dismissed over it, but usually because they crossed other lines. Never have I seen a coach not involved fired. The athletic director? Come on? Where did we jump the shark as a society we want to fire people for what was happing in other people's sex lives?
