Utah State Football Coach Fired Amid Title IX Violations

Utah State University fired head football coach Blake Anderson for violating Title IX policies related to a player's alleged domestic violence incident, where Anderson attempted to personally investigate without reporting to university authorities. Anderson's attorney denied the allegations, calling the investigation a 'sham' and threatening legal action for his termination. The university's review found Anderson failed to comply with Title IX policies and manage the team in line with academic values, leading to his dismissal. Despite Anderson's success with a positive record and bowl appearances, Utah State stands firm in its decision to terminate him, sparking potential legal action from the coach.
