Something Was Wrong
S25 Ep16: Your Voice Matters

And my lawyer says, what is the off the field issue that this is referring to?

S25 Ep16: Your Voice Matters

My lawyer says this allegation, correct?

S25 Ep16: Your Voice Matters

And the coach says, correct.

After they went through more of the information in this deposition, the coach changed his tune and explained that that's not why he was suspended, but that he was suspended for showing up to practice intoxicated.

He says he was in no condition to practice and we sent him home and told him he is not traveling.

My lawyer specifies drugs and or alcohol and the coach says yes.

I remember at the time he had been suspended, the head coach of the University of Utah announced it.

And I remember thinking that it was possibly because of my situation.

S25 Ep16: Your Voice Matters

I had a friend on the soccer team at the University of Utah and I remember texting her and she let me know that her best friend's boyfriend, who's also on the football team, said that it was because he showed up intoxicated to practice.

And the coach texts him and says, we are going to pay for the remainder of your summer school.

S25 Ep16: Your Voice Matters

Not only was he suspended from the team, he had previous write-ups with the football team that we found, and he has these allegations about my situation, and they are still continuing his scholarship throughout the summer.

Something Was Wrong
S25 Ep16: Your Voice Matters

I really was shocked because I didn't even understand how he was on a scholarship to begin with.

Something Was Wrong
S25 Ep16: Your Voice Matters

He got a DUI, but they knocked it down to an impaired driving.

S25 Ep16: Your Voice Matters

And that was all while he was on the team.

Something Was Wrong
S25 Ep16: Your Voice Matters

At least this is what he explained to me.

Something Was Wrong
S25 Ep16: Your Voice Matters

I find this very troubling because he's clearly not doing well.

Something Was Wrong
S25 Ep16: Your Voice Matters

And he's clearly not meeting the expectations that the team has set out as their core values and what players need to be doing and what

Something Was Wrong
S25 Ep16: Your Voice Matters

the way that they need to present themselves he's not meeting these expectations and they're continuously giving him chance after chance not really coming to terms with the fact that he is a dangerous person and they're allowing him and enabling him to be on this team and have all of the benefits of being on the team and having this help with school while he is out there making poor choices
