After the conclusion of the 2015-16 season, 10 of the 12 remaining Loyola women's basketball players asked to be released from their scholarships. Some of the players reached out to media outlets, like the Chicago Tribune, and alleged player mistreatment from coach and Hall of Fame player Sheryl Swoopes. It caused concern within the school, and in mid-April an investigation was launched.
The conclusion apparently came Sunday evening in the form of a brief statement, as Loyola broke through the holiday weekend news cycle with an announcement that Swoopes had been terminated.
"Sheryl Swoopes is no longer serving as the women's basketball coach at Loyola University Chicago," the statement read.
