Football Scoop: Troy Taylor releases statement sharing his side of the story
I'll highlight new revelations.
"Taylor also shares that the investigation from June of 2023 was improperly shared with local and national outlets, and that he fully cooperated with that investigation - the results of which he has not seen to this day - and it ultimately found his actions "fair" after it was alleged that he attempted to dismiss a female staffer for an "unfair reason."
"In February, despite a 3-9 initial season, Taylor was awarded a contract extension and raise.
"Then, in March of 2024 the second complaint was filed from the compliance office, and Taylor shares that came as the result of a conversation around the speed at which Stanford players could participate in walk-through.
"After that investigation, Taylor was asked to forfeit his previously agreed upon raise and "change his tone," both of which he complied with. Taylor alleges he was once again not shown the results of that second report, which was then improperly disclosed to ESPN.
"To wrap up, Taylor calls the media's recent portrayal of him "unfair, wrong, and contrary to his professional record," before adding that Stanford is honoring the original payment terms of his contract, saying he was fired without cause."
Is releasing an employee investigation similiar to releasing a personnel file?
A compliance officer was trying to dictate walk-through speed? Does the NCAA dictate that?
