Utah State University is investigating comments that attorneys say were made by head football coach Blake Anderson, who warned his players in a meeting this fall that it
“has never been more glamorized to be a victim” of sexual assault.
The remarks from the coach come in a second recording obtained by The Salt Lake Tribune and are mentioned as
part of a lawsuit filed this week by student Kaytriauna Flint.
The suit also referred to a recording of USU police Chief Earl Morris
telling players in a separate meeting to beware of having sex with Latter-day Saint women because they might later feel “regret” and report it as nonconsensual. USU put Morris on administrative leave, saying its police chief “must have the trust of the campus,” and
he later resigned Thursday.
In the recording, the coach mentions that the team has “a very, very close to zero tolerance policy here” for sexual assault.
