Title A name given to the resource Athletic Department Denies Allegations Subject The topic of the resource Indignation from the athletic department regarding a part of the Twilight Commission Report which states that BIPOC athletes "do not feel comfortable doing so here," regarding athletic participation. The director of athletics is upset that he wasn't informed prior to the release of the report and seems to be in disbelief that this finding is rooted in facts. Some coaches specifically target former athlete and former BSU president, Leroy Nesbitt, for the "negative information" in the report regarding the athletic department. Overall, coaches and the athletic department voiced sentiments that sports inherently "erased" racial prejudice and that they treated their players identically regardless of race.

"When somebody is going to make a statement which could be interpreted in many ways, you'd think they'd find out if there was any factual basis" -Lawson "What (the report) implied was that we have coaches on the staff who have racist tendencies, and that's either a blatant lie or a misconception... I'm surprised anyone had the audacity to say that."- Reilly "Every member of the department agreed the very nature of sports inherently precludes racism."
