Discussion Columbia Head Coach Megan Griffith Suspended By University for 3 Games Due to Review of Her Conduct

Columbia suspends coach Megan Griffith for 3 games after review of coaching behavior

As an Ivy League fan I kind of saw this coming from a mile away.

Apparently the player who initiated the University's external review wasn't supposed to be recruited D1, but got an offer, played for her, and there was a mismatch in styles and expectations. I guess we'll have to find out if more will come out on Coach Griffith... I'm conflicted, but I also take allegations like this seriously and think it's a fair punishment.
