IU Indianapolis fires Paul Corsaro for his treatment of players
'His behavior did not meet the university's values and standards regarding the treatment of student athletes,' the university said in a statement.
Corsaro went 10-24 overall and 6-14 in the Horizon League in his only season with the Jaguars.
The 36-year-old Indianapolis native was considered an up-and-comer in the coaching ranks when he left the University of Indianapolis last spring after four seasons. He posted a 79-37 mark with the Greyhounds, topping the 20-win mark and making NCAA Division II Tournament runs in each of his final two seasons at his alma mater.
Corsaro was named the Great Lakes Valley Conference and Midwest Region Coach of the Year in 2022-23.
He played both football and basketball in college. After graduating from Indianapolis in 2012, he joined the Greyhounds staff and worked there until 2017-18. Following two seasons as an assistant coach at Purdue Fort Wayne, he took the head coaching job at Indianapolis.
IU Indianapolis said it will conduct a national search for Corsaro's successor.

Early struggles for Trevor Lawrence, solid bounce-back in Jaguars-Saints Week 2 preseason
Early struggles for Trevor Lawrence, solid bounce-back in Jaguars-Saints Week 2 preseason originally appeared on The Sporting News It seemed like Trevor Lawrence was giving critics reason for concern during the Jacksonville Jaguars' Week 2 preseason game against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. He had a difficult start but bounced back strongly in the limited time he played. Lawrence's day began with a costly fumble on the opening drive. Despite this setback, he showed efficiency over the few minutes he played. Lawrence completed eight of 10 passes for 76 yards, including a 7-yard touchdown pass to Parker Washington. According to The Florida Times-Union's Garry Smits, "Lawrence used five receivers and the Jags mixed in 32 rushing yards for 108 yards of offense. They converted all three of their third-down plays." Lawrence is entering a pivotal season under first-year head coach Liam Coen. So, this preseason is important for him to settle the pressure before the regular season kicks off.

Jaguars' Brian Thomas Jr. sends clear message to Travis Hunter
Jaguars' Brian Thomas Jr. sends clear message to Travis Hunter originally appeared on The Sporting News Travis Hunter appears ready to be a two-way player for the Jacksonville Jaguars to start the 2025 NFL season. However, one current teammate hopes to see the University of Colorado product more on offense than defense. During an appearance on The Pivot Podcast, Jaguars receiver Brian Thomas Jr. was asked about Hunter playing both sides of the ball. Nonetheless, the 22-year-old revealed that offense should be the side Hunter should play to form a tandem. "So he's going out there making plays where there's an offense, defense," Thomas Jr. said. "I feel like it'll be tough for him, but I feel like he'll be able to do it. Just going out there and seeing him, what he does at practice, I feel like he'll be able to go out there and do it. But me, self-efficially, I would want to move out on the offensive side. Help me out a little bit, track some of those coverages. Me, personally, I feel like he'll definitely be able to do that." Despite wanting Hunter as a receiver to help him out on offense, Thomas Jr. and the other wide outs are playing a helping hand in preparing the rookie also to be a cornerback since he desires to be a two-way player. MORE:Jaguars' Travis Hunter gets injury update before second preseason game "When he's out there on defense or whatever, I'm talking to the receivers: make sure you all go at him," Thomas Jr. added. "Don't take nothing. Don't go off because he's just him, or still push at him, because at the end of the day, if this is what he want to do, he got to make sure he's at the top of his game. He got to make sure he's getting better each and every day." It will be interesting to see how Hunter performs on offense and defense early in the season. Another key question is how long Jaguars head coach Liam Coen will give the first-round pick to prove he can excel at both positions.
