I know Mitch well enough to know that if something like this was going on, he would deal with it immediately.

True, but the article is pretty damning. At least some heads should roll.
I know Lars was taken off the pool deck for the majority of last year but came back before the SECs…they suspended him and basically fired him this summer.

Well, if the lawsuit is correct (and it should be easy to prove with the paper trail) he didn't. Neither did Compliance Officer Sandy Bell. And they will be rightfully fired for it:
quote:
In July of 2023, Bell reported directly to Athletics Director Barnhart.
276. Bell was unsurprised to hear these allegations of sexual assault againstJorgensen, stating, “Unfortunately, this is not the first time we have heard of this.”
277. Upon information and belief, Bell reported Jane Doe’s allegations toAthletics Director Barnhart.
278. Neither Bell nor Barnhart undertook any follow up measures inresponse to Jane Doe’s allegations, failing to: a) personally investigate Jane Doe’s allegations; b) escalate Jane Doe’s allegations for follow up or investigation; and c) report JaneDoe’s allegations to UK’s Title IX Office or the EEO Officeof Institutional Equity and Equal Opportunity

The second sentence says:
quote:
In June 2012, Mark Howard, a former assistant swimming coach at Toledo, sent separate emails to Gary Conelly, Kentucky’s swim coach, and UK athletics director Mitch Barnhart.
