Doug Martin, the head football coach at New Mexico State University, has come under fire after complaints have surfaced that he has treated student athletes poorly and with disregard to their health.
In a letter sent to the New Mexico Attorney General, an alleged parent of one of the student athletes on the NM State football team accused Martin of “putting students in peril by making them practice under dangerous conditions.”
The letter also accuses him of “forcing players to play when hurt and not seek out trainers on staff” and of “disparate treatment of minority student athletes, nepotism, and hiring disparities.
