A former member of the USC football coaching staff alleges in a lawsuit that he was retaliated against for reporting NCAA violations to the compliance office.
Courtright reported the allegations to USC’s athletic department compliance office in June 2017, the lawsuit said, and also filed an anonymous complaint with the school.
The lawsuit said Courtright also reported that players warmed up before games without protective equipment or full-time coaches present to supervise them. That included an incident where two players collided and received concussions, according to the lawsuit, during warmups before USC’s game against Washington State in September 2017.
The remarks included obscenities, according to the complaint. It also alleged that football staffers “suddenly ostracized” Courtright, “refused to interact” with him and would “abruptly end or cut off conversations” when he appeared. According to the lawsuit, Helton gave Courtright a choice in April 2018 of resigning or being fired. Courtright resigned in May 2018.
The lawsuit credits Courtright with implementing a “pressure package” defense to help USC win 10 games, including the Rose Bowl, during the 2016 season and said Swann called him a “steal” because the school “was getting so much expertise and value for so little salary.”
