Report: Arizona State Booster Made 'Unwelcome' Contact With Athletic Department Wives

Arizona State concluded that booster Bart Wear engaged in "unwelcome comments and physical contact," with the wives of three athletic department members, according to Yahoo Sports' Pete Thamel.

The school filed a legal claim on Wednesday that cited it waited nearly five months to investigate the claims of assault and sexual harassment, per Thamel. Leslie Hurley, the wife of ASU head basketball coach Bobby Hurley, is among one of three women to describe inappropriate conduct by Wear. Kathy Cohen, the wife of former ASU associate athletic director David Cohen, is also one of the three.

"Kathy Cohen left her seat at T-Mobile Arena to use the restroom at halftime and attempted to pass Wear, a former ASU football player, in the aisle," Thamel wrote on Thursday.
