These coaches that are abusive "eventually" get exposed, but how many students lives are ruined before that happens?The NCAA needs to look at this problem more seriously.It shouldn't take 28 players leaving for someone to realize there might be a problem .(AD?)This is in our own backyard( IUPUI), i can't appreciate enough the kind of coaches we have at SDSU, we are very fortunate to have people of high integrity & moral fiber as coaches.

Just a heartbreaking, appalling story . . .

It's incredible how the conduct just got worse and worse from one page to the next......

That's an interesting counter to rumors of drug abuse as an explanation for Whitted's departure.

Interesting article I found:

For any of you wondering why Julia Whitted didn't make the trip when IUPUI played SDSU. 28 players and assistants left the program in four years. Ouch! It's also six pages long!

Excerpt: "Hart repeatedly and publicly humiliated players, including handing out a framed "award" -- in front of the entire team -- to the player with the worst grade-point average. Hart probed the details of her players' personal lives, including sexual orientation, once asking a player, "Do you like girls?" Last season after a loss, Hart gave her college athletes children's "Happy Meals" for their post-game meal."
