Washington State's Gesser resigns amid misconduct complaint
PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — Washington State University employee and former quarterback Jason Gesser resigned Tuesday, a day after he was accused of sexual misconduct.
Gesser, 39, sent a letter to the university resigning his post as assistant athletic director effective immediately.
"I am deeply saddened that recent circumstances in my private life have created a distraction for the department and university," Gesser wrote. "While I certainly never intended to hurt anyone, I believe it is best for all involved for me to move on."
The university's President Kirk Schulz and Director of Athletics Pat Chun said in a joint statement Tuesday evening that they had accepted Gesser's resignation.
