Utah State football head coach Blake Anderson, Deputy AD Jerry Bovee to be terminated from positions | Sports
LOGAN — The Utah State sports landscape had a bombshell dropped on it Tuesday morning with the news that Aggie football head coach Blake Anderson had been placed on administrative leave and later reports that he will not return. ESPN college football senior writer, Pete Thamel, first reported in a series of post on X (formerly Twitter) that Anderson was on administrative leave and later reported he was ‘not expected to return as coach.’ Utah State released a statement regarding the situation a couple hours after the reports first came out. “Utah State University officials informed Head Football Coach Blake Anderson on Tuesday of their intent to terminate his employment agreement for actions taken in spring 2023. These actions violated both his employment agreement and university policy. Under his employment agreement Coach Anderson will have 14 days to respond. This decision comes after a thorough external review of alleged noncompliance with university policies that implement Title IX, which require full and timely reporting of disclosures of sexual misconduct — including domestic violence — and prohibit employees from investigating disclosures of sexual misconduct themselves.” Along with Anderson, Utah State will also be relieving Jerry Bovee, the deputy athletic director, and Austin Albrecht,
