25 Columbia football players sent a letter to the school's President and Board of Trustees alleging that coach Pete Mangurian has mishandled players' concussions as well as other abuses, the Columbia Spectator reports.
Accordiing to the Spectator, the letter, which has since been withdrawn, says that Mangurian also created rifts between underclassmen and upperclassmen while being physically abusive.
Mangurian's tenure as the Lions' coach hasn't gone well on the field either. The team has lost 21 straight games over his three seasons at the helm, consistently finishing at the bottom of the Ivy League. Columbia has not beaten Penn since 1996.
