SALT LAKE CITY — University of Utah baseball manager Bill Kinneberg faces a potential suspension in the upcoming season following an investigation by the university, Utah athletics director Chris Hill announced Monday.
The investigation stems from a letter to the athletics department from a concerned parent of a former athlete. The letter detailed several instances in which the well-being of the athletes was called into question, including allegations of faulty equipment, medical care and drug abuse.
Hill said the university hired an “outside group” — the law firm of Bond, Schoenick & King PLLC — and involved its legal counsel to conduct an internal investigation into the baseball program.
