Even in the large, expansive, and sordid history of college sports scandals, this one might be one of the strangest.
According toESPN, California State University, Bakersfield, has been rocked by a surreal scandal that has overshadowed the fact that the team is dead last in the Big West Conference.
(Which is probably for the best for the Roadrunners, given that they’re 8-22.)
But it doesn’t appear that Cal State Bakersfield’s athletic department will be answering any questions about that putrid record any time soon.
Instead, the department will undoubtedly be peppered with questions about “temporary assistant coach” Kevin Mays.
In August, then-Cal State Bakersfield basketball head coach Rod Barnes received an anonymous email alleging that Mays had been operating as a pimp across four different states.
“FIX IT OR THE WHOLE STAFF WILL FALL,” the tipster, who had identified a woman allegedly being trafficked by Mays, said in the email.
The tipster added that it was a “first warning and a final warning.”
Barnes would forward that email to school officials, which prompted an investigation that would eventually lead to criminal charges being pressed against Mays.
Mays is currently being held without bail as he faces an extensive list of charges — 11 in total — spanning both felonies and misdemeanors.
