A 14-page complaint said that, “Coach Clint Myers knowingly let his son Corey Myers have relations and pursue relations with multiple members of the team.” According to the article by ESPN, several athletes on the team approached Myers, who is the head coach, with text messages saying that his son was having relations with Nemeth.
A letter was sent by Milwaukee attorney Martin Greenberg detailing the allegations against the coaching staff. The letter reported that the team was stopped before a trip to a game in Georgia by Auburn executive associate athletic director Meredith Jenkins.
In the letter, Greenberg said that she told the players who approached Myers that they risked arrest for getting the messages from their teammate’s phone and to delete them. Corey Myers resigned from his position as assistant head coach before the trip to Georgia.

Most schools college and high schools try to hide the problems and hope nobody finds out.

Why don’t these victims report these incidents when they happen?
Annette Stansell
Many reasons. Why didn’t all the young boys report being raped by their priest & boys raped by the college football coach not tell for years?
Dan Caudle
Annette Stansell Exactly, same thing. Fear of retaliation , shame, just wonder why.

I guess what I was trying to say was something like this should have been taken to the Media right away if schools were not giving it due attention. Some investigative widely read paper like the The Trussville Tribune.

Dan, I don’t disagree with you. In defense of the media, several news outlets have filed FIOA (Freedom of Information Act) requests with Auburn and the University has not complied. It’s my understanding that some of these requests were filed months ago.
