Gophers AD Norwood Teague resigns amid sexual harassment allegations

The University of Minnesota athletics director Norwood Teague has resigned, the school announced Friday, amid allegations of sexual harassment.

University President Eric Kaler said during a 15-minute news conference that the school was investigating two sexual harassment claims against Teague.

"We had two complaints; they occurred on the same night," Kaler said.

According to three transcripts supplied by the university, Teague made sexually inappropriate physical and verbal contact with two women during what Teague told KARE-11 was a university event.

According to statements from the victims, Teague gave the women unsolicited backrubs and pinched them on the buttocks and waist.
