- People wondering what about
the head coach DJ Durkin.

00:00:02.850 --> 00:00:04.860 align:middle line:84%
What can you tell us,
specifically here Heather,

00:00:04.860 --> 00:00:06.690 align:middle line:84%
about some of the conditions
these players were

00:00:06.690 --> 00:00:07.590 align:middle line:90%
subjected to?

00:00:11.610 --> 00:00:15.230 align:middle line:10%
- It's just awful,
to be quite frank.

00:00:15.230 --> 00:00:19.250 align:middle line:10%
As you mentioned, Jordan
McNair had a temperature

00:00:19.250 --> 00:00:22.520 align:middle line:10%
of 106 degrees when he
was taken to Washington

00:00:22.520 --> 00:00:24.470 align:middle line:10%
Adventist Hospital.

00:00:24.470 --> 00:00:28.100 align:middle line:10%
And multiple players,
current and former,

00:00:28.100 --> 00:00:30.830 align:middle line:10%
that Adam Rittenberg, Tom
VanHaaren and I have spent

00:00:30.830 --> 00:00:34.730 align:middle line:10%
months reporting and talking
to, have told us, mainly,

00:00:34.730 --> 00:00:39.920 align:middle line:10%
most importantly, about
a culture of verbal abuse

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:43.550 align:middle line:10%
that has just really run
rampant throughout the program.

00:00:43.550 --> 00:00:46.970 align:middle line:10%
And instilled a sense of
fear throughout this program.

00:00:46.970 --> 00:00:49.580 align:middle line:10%
I can tell you many
players were afraid to talk

00:00:49.580 --> 00:00:53.030 align:middle line:10%
to us for fear of retribution
from the coaching staff.

00:00:53.030 --> 00:00:54.530 align:middle line:10%
There have been instances--

00:00:54.530 --> 00:00:57.890 align:middle line:10%
one player told us that
he had a plate of food

00:00:57.890 --> 00:00:59.480 align:middle line:10%
knocked out of his hand.

00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:00.980 align:middle line:10%
There's bullying.

00:01:00.980 --> 00:01:05.450 align:middle line:10%
And it just continues to go back
to, much of it, the allegations

00:01:05.450 --> 00:01:08.120 align:middle line:10%
against Rick Court, the
strength and conditioning Coach,

00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:09.020 align:middle line:10%
I mentioned.

00:01:09.020 --> 00:01:12.350 align:middle line:10%
And just, really, a
history of verbal abuse

00:01:12.350 --> 00:01:15.620 align:middle line:10%
stemming from the
way his philosophy

00:01:15.620 --> 00:01:18.730 align:middle line:10%
is and their Head
Coach DJ Durkin.
