Utah State says Blake Anderson fired for interviewing potential victim after Aggies player arrest

AP College Football Writer

Utah State’s termination letter to Blake Anderson says he was fired for contacting a potential domestic violence victim and a witness to the incident after an Aggies football player was arrested, and failing to properly report the case. The final report of the review of Anderson’s actions commissioned by Utah State and the termination letter were obtained by The Associated Press through an open records request. Anderson’s response to the school’s termination letter says he was fired for “convenience,” not for cause, and called the investigation that led to his dismissal a “sham.”
