For the sake of transparency, BroJos, if you delete my post above then I expect a thorough explanation. For those in the thread, if my above post has been deleted, that means the BroJos are censoring (factual) information about certain coaches on their site that are deemed "powerful" in the running world, but they're allowing MUCH worse things to be posted about other NCAA D1 coaches, without any sort of evidence, due to them not being as high profile. Seems pretty wild to me. Doesn't seem like how media should work.
That's because Adrian knew he was leaving and instructed his recruited athletes to get in the transfer portal.
You beat me to it. I was told the same thing but didn't know how true it was.
Adrian Meyers is a perfect example of someone who coaches for his own glory. He left NIU and took 3-4 with him and continued to contact a couple of other NIU athletes illegally. He took another one at semester and she was only in the portal for like 4 weeks before she transferred. He did and continues to do anything to sabotage the program he built up in order to make himself look better. Over 5 years He had 2-3 really good women (one he brought from Purdue) and a handful of other good women and won the MAC during the Covid year when there wasn’t even a full XC season or all teams competing and healthy. He’s a good coach but shady and all about himself. This coming from another coach in the MAC. You should always strive to leave a program better than it was when u got there.

Happens all time. It’s not a coach’s responsibility to maintain a program’s success following their stint. People get paid a decent amount of money to build and rebuild.
You have to understand that he spends as much time scouring the boards for negative posts about himself as he does coaching. He’s obsessed with people “trolling” him here and works tirelessly to keep his digital image as clean as possible. He even had most of his interviews with his 9x all-American claims taken down.
Also, he brags that he is friends with the mods and and can have anything negative posted removed by just texting his buddies.

Since when does "happens all the time" make it legal, right or justified? There's a big difference between not being responsible for maintaining former programs success and doing things that are both ethically and legally unjust.
Heard the head coach was covering up assistants having relationships with athletes. So similar to UNLV
Sooo this baseless accusation about a coach is allowed to be left up without anything to support it, but those posts about He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named keep getting taken down for no reason? What gives? What kind of media entity is this? This site is really a trash heap.

This isn't exactly what happened but not too far off.

Maintain a programs success after they leave? Huh? We are talking about contacting/recruiting former athletes that he coached without them being in the portal. He did not take any incoming freshman recruits with him. He took current NIU student athletes. Some the correct way, some the illegal way. This is fact!
