Does Wake Forest University have a legal case against former assistant coach Tommy Elrod and the schools with whom Elrod, while acting as the Demon Deacons’ radio broadcaster, allegedly shared game plans?
If the school’s findings can be verified, Wake Forest would have grounds to pursue a trade secrets lawsuit against both Elrod and any schools with whom Elrod allegedly communicated. Although much less likely at this point, such alleged misconduct and accompanying conspiracy could be construed as criminal racketeering.
Background
As reported Tuesday, the 41-year-old Elrod has been fired after serving as the Demon Deacons’ radio announcer on the IMG Radio Network since 2014.
