Sports. Law - More on "'Emotional abuse' at IUPUI? 28 have left women's basketball program"

Updating yesterday's ILB entry, there is another story today by Indy Star reporters Mark Alesia, Heather Gillers and Tim Evans. It is headed "IUPUI launches investigation into women's basketball program: Coaches accused of aiming emotional abuse at players." Some quotes:

A three-member panel will investigate allegations of "emotional abuse" and NCAA rules violations in IUPUI's women's basketball program.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis Chancellor Charles Bantz said Tuesday that he has appointed Sue Shields, retired magistrate judge for the U.S. District Court for Southern Indiana, to lead the panel. The other members are Gary Roberts, dean of the Indiana University School of Law-Indianapolis, and Angie Torain, associate athletic director.

The panel will report its findings to IU President Michael McRobbie, the IU board of trustees and other IUPUI leaders. No time was mentioned for when the panel is expected to complete its work.

Judge Sheilds and Dean Roberts are great appointments. One wonders, however, about having the IUPUI associate athletics director investigating her own program at this point.
