ECU To Fire Softball Coaches After Investigation
East Carolina University has begun the process to dismiss its head softball coach and one assistant after a wide-ranging investigation into the program found a host of problems:
In a news release, the university says the initial investigation found an emotionally hostile environment in the softball scholarship program, identified potential NCAA violations and noted shortcomings related to oversight of property and fiscal matters.
Hostile environment plus potential NCAA violations would make exceeding practice limits the most likely culprit. Oversight of money is itself an NCAA issue, central to the ongoing infractions case against Chadron State College.
