Sex, Lies, Coercion: Athletic Director Greg Byrne and an Arizona track & field lawsuit

The allegations begin horribly...

Craig Carter would not stop threatening Baillie Gibson: over email, over text and over the phone. He threatened to rape her, and he threatened to kill her. "If the cops are called it won't matter," he'd texted her. "I will pull my gun on them so they kill me but not before I let every f---ing person that you know what you have done to me."

On the morning of April 21, 2015, Carter parked his car outside Gibson's house.

For nearly three years, Carter, a track coach at the University of Arizona, and Gibson, one of his athletes, had met secretly for sex -- inside Carter's school office, in the Wildcats' track and field team room and while traveling in team hotels.
