Former Utah State coach Blake Anderson has responded to the school's termination letter, claiming he was fired for 'convenience' rather than for cause. His attorney shared excerpts from the 70-page response, stating that the investigation leading to his dismissal was a 'sham.' Anderson was officially terminated on Thursday after being notified of the school's intent to dismiss him for failing to comply with Title IX policies regarding the reporting of sexual misconduct cases.
The response highlighted that the university's investigation began last year following an incident in April 2023. It referenced a trend in college sports, citing Kansas' dismissal of a football coach in 2018, where schools allegedly manufacture reasons to fire highly paid coaches without paying the agreed-upon buyout.
