Kevin Wilson Player Treatment Investigation Reportedly Led to Indiana Departure

Following Kevin Wilson's resignation as the Indiana Hoosiers' head football coach Thursday, it was revealed Saturday that a 2015 investigation into his treatment of players contributed to his departure.

According to Zach Osterman of the Indianapolis Star, Wilson stepped down after six years at the helm, and athletic director Fred Glass cited "philosophical differences" as the reasoning.

Per Osterman, however, questions about Wilson's handling of injured players cropped up last year and persisted to the point that the two sides decided to part ways.

The investigation was prompted when the father of former Indiana defensive lineman Nick Carovillano, Dean Carovillano, complained to the university that Wilson created an unhealthy environment for injured players.
