Brock Fritz Headshot

West Virginia University defensive coordinator Vic Koenning has been placed on administrative leave after safety Kerry Martin Jr. alleged Koenning mistreated players, made insensitive comments and caused players to transfer away from Morgantown.

“I want to thank Kerry Martin for having the courage to bring his concerns to light,” West Virginia director of athletics Shane Lyons wrote in a statement Tuesday. “We will not tolerate any form of racism, discrimination or bias on our campus, including our athletic programs. Coach Vic Koenning 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.”
