More allegations of sexual assault have hit college sports, and this time one of the most famous coaches may be caught up in the scandal.
In January, Duke basketball suddenly dismissed junior shooting guard Rasheed Sulaimon from the program. He was the first player that Mike Krzyzewski has let go in the 35 seasons he has served as head coach. At the time, Krzyzewski was vague about the reasons for Sulaimon's departure, stating in a press release that the player had "been unable to consistently live up to the standards required to be a member" of the team.
