Here’s the full text of the statement from Athletic Director Mike Thomas:
The health and well-being of our student-athletes is our number one priority, so we have taken these allegations very seriously. We have worked to create a culture of dignity, respect and integrity, so any allegations such as these are troubling. Our support system for student athletes exceeds those of many of our peers.
At student-athletes' initial orientation, they are given information on a wide array of resources including how to report any issues they don't feel comfortable taking to their coaches. Then, once they are in school, they have daily contact with a number of support staff.
