Indiana University President Michael McRobbie and Athletic Director Fred Glass are addressing recent incidents involving school athletes. Stating the university has seen too many legal problems in the athletic department, the two leaders delivered a clear, stern message to coaches during a recent all-staff meeting. Afterward, the school released a transcript of McRobbie’s remarks, in which he said he doesn’t want to see “any more stories of repeated student misbehavior.” McRobbie stated the misbehavior embarrasses the university, they embarrass everyone in Athletics, and they are a complete distraction from their primary role as an educational institution. The growing consternation has arisen from an 18-month series of off-the-field incidents. Two basketball players and one football player have been kicked off their teams and several other players have been suspended.
