TCU places embattled assistant Corey Barker on administrative leave

TCU men’s basketball assistant coach Corey Barker has been placed on administrative leave, athletics director Jeremiah Donati said in a statement.

Barker has been linked to the FBI college basketball corruption case, allegedly receiving a bribery payment to steer TCU players to a specific sports agency.

The federal government made the accusation in a superseding indictment filed Thursday in the Southern District of New York. Barker has not been charged with a crime, and reports suggest it’s unlikely he will be.

TCU acknowledged a subpoena for employment records, and Donati said the department is conducting an “internal review” on Thursday.
