Two years ago, Stanford head coach Troy Taylor spoke of building a "culture of love" and being "sincere and authentic" during his first Pac-12 media day news conference. A pair of law firms hired by Stanford to investigate him found something else.
As detailed by a report from ESPN published Wednesday, two investigations found Taylor to have bullied and belittled female athletic staffers, attempted to have an NCAA compliance officer removed after she warned him about rules violations and repeatedly made inappropriate comments to a different woman about her appearance.
The first investigation reportedly resulted in Taylor signing a warning letter in Feb.
