Accusations of abuse and racial insensitivity by former Florida women’s basketball coach Cam Newbauer surfaced Monday during a report by The Independent Florida Alligator.
The article, authored by student journalist Zachary Huber, states that the school’s University Athletic Association was aware of Newbauer’s behavior and investigated the allegations but failed to mitigate the toxic environment in the coach’s program.
The school then announced last spring Newbauer had agreed to a three-year extension including a clause that he would receive one year’s base salary ($283,000) if he were to be terminated. Six weeks later on July 16, he resigned, citing personal reasons.
