ESPN investigating Dan Dakich over disturbing comments, tweets while fighting with professors

ESPN is investigating basketball analyst Dan Dakich after he made some controversial and disturbing comments online and on his Indianapolis radio show last week, according to USA Today’s Dan Wolken.

The issue stemmed from a Twitter feud he had with several professors about former Blue Devils star Jalen Johnson’s decision to opt out of the rest of the season in favor of preparing for the NBA draft.

Dakich, who has a long history of controversial comments and social media posts, briefly shut down his Twitter account on Sunday.

“We are taking this matter very seriously and are in the process of looking into it,” ESPN said in a statement, via USA Today.
