Virginia Tech co-defensive coordinator Galen Scott has resigned amid allegations that he was involved in an extramarital affair.
An email sent to the Richmond Times-Dispatch earlier this month accused Scott of using recruiting trips to maintain the relationship. The email also was sent to school administrators, according to the Times-Dispatch.
Scott, in a statement sent Friday to multiple newspapers, acknowledged making "a mistake" and said he is stepping away from his position to spend time with his wife and two children.
"I made a mistake and I have to take responsibility for that," Scott said.
