In dueling press releases Monday, the Missouri athletics department and former swimming coach Greg Rhodenbaugh mutually disputed claims made by the other party about his exit from the university.
According to a press release from public relations firm Vox Populi Communications, MU’s Title IX office cleared Rhodenbaugh of undisclosed allegations of “team mismanagement” that led to his administrative leave last fall. Later in the day, Mizzou disputed that Rhodenbaugh was cleared of any wrongdoing in the investigation that led to his suspension and ultimately his dismissal. Before the investigation was completed, MU re-assigned Rhodenbaugh earlier this summer and promoted assistant coach Andrew Grevers to head coach.
