After rising WVU sophomore cornerback Kerry Martin Jr. raised concerns on social media about defensive coordinator Vic Koenning - Koenning was put on leave by the university. Athletic director Shane Lyons released this statement, "I want to thank Kerry Martin for having the courage to bring his concerns to light. We will not tolerate any form of racism, discrimination or bias on our campus, including our athletic programs. Coach has been placed on administrative leave effective immediately, and the department will work with the appropriate parties to conduct a thorough investigation into these allegations. This is serious, and we will act appropriately and in the best interests of our student-athletes." SI's Pat Forde shares his thoughts on the Koenning situation in West Virginia.
