A report obtained by The Detroit News detail allegations against Michigan hockey coach Mel Pearson and issues in the program that "require attention."

The 70-page report was issued by the Washington D.C.-based WilmerHale law firm.

Pearson, who's been the head coach at Michigan since 2017, was accused of retaining employees who had "contemporaneous knowledge of sexual conduct committed by former University physician Dr. Robert Anderson," mistreating women associated with the program, violating the university's COVID-19 safety protocols, and "retaliation against and unfair treatment of student athletes."
