Idaho volleyball head coach Chris Gonzalez was placed on administrative leave following a preliminary report by the university's Office of Civil Rights and Investigations, which found evidence of sex-based harassment, retaliation against players, and other policy violations. The report also indicated discrimination based on national origin. Athletic director Terry Gawlik informed the players and apologized for the investigation's duration. Criticism has been directed at Gawlik for her handling of complaints against Gonzalez since October 2022. A separate investigation by law firm Thompson & Horton is ongoing, examining the volleyball program's culture under Gonzalez, who has been accused of abuse and endangering players' safety. The university is unlikely to release the final report publicly.

The University of Idaho has expanded its investigation into the conduct of women's volleyball head coach Chris Gonzalez following a report detailing allegations of physical, verbal, and emotional abuse towards players. The investigation, conducted by an outside law firm, was initiated after six current players, three former players, and a university employee accused Gonzalez of abusive behavior, including pressuring injured players to compete, food deprivation, and making racially insensitive remarks. Despite the allegations, Gonzalez, who has a 5-51 record over two seasons, claims they are unfounded. The university's response has been criticized by players for being slow and dismissive, with no follow-up after initial meetings. The investigation is expected to take 60 to 90 days to complete.

Teri McKeever, former University of California women's swimming coach, admitted to emotionally and physically abusing Cal swimmers over two decades, as revealed in a confidential document from the U.S. Center for SafeSport. The admission came after a Southern California News Group investigation reported allegations of abuse. McKeever agreed to a three-month suspension and 12 months probation, a decision criticized by former swimmers for its leniency. McKeever's attorney claimed she was a victim of a male-dominated coaching system. McKeever was previously fired by Cal after an investigation found she violated university policy by discriminating against swimmers. SafeSport was unable to make determinations on allegations prior to 2017, including claims of sexual misconduct.
