Kent State strength coach, who oversaw the practice in which freshman lineman Tyler Heintz died, lacks proper certification, according to a report by CBS Sports.
Ross Bowsher, who is in his second year with Kent State, previously worked at Arkansas Tech University and Purdue University.
NCAA bylaw 11.5 states a strength coach "must maintain current certification through a nationally accredited strength and conditioning certification program.”
CBS Sports reported that it filed a Freedom of Information Act request for copies of Bowsher’s certification, and were told by a Kent State spokesman that “there were no responsive records” of those certifications.
