A report surfaced late Sunday night by The Chronicle for Higher Education which accuses a UCLA Bruins assistant basketball coach of academic wrongdoing.
Per the report, assistant coach Duane Broussard pressured Will Collier, the former academic coordinator for men’s basketball, to change a players grade in order for the player to remain eligible.
“Mr. Collier, 33, who had just completed his first year on the job, contacted Duane Broussard, an assistant coach and the team’s academic liaison. The player, Mr. Collier explained, had received a C-minus in a communications class but needed a B to participate in team activities.
