A female academic coach at Notre Dame has been fired after an internal school report discovered that she coerced football and basketball players into having sex with her daughter, according to the New York Daily News.

One of the students involved has sued the school, claiming the affairs were "racially motivated" and that the academic coach provided transportation, hotel rooms and condoms to facilitate the relationship. 

The unnamed academic coach violated the university's "values" and its "discrimination harassment policy," the six-page report concluded.

Notre Dame spokesman Paul Browne responded in a statement to the South Bend Tribune.

"The allegations against the University of Notre Dame in the complaint are unfounded. As are gratuitous and unfounded references to 'student athletes' — an allegation that is nothing more than a cynical attempt to attract publicity."

It's unclear if the lawsuit has any merit. But something inappropriate definitely went down, otherwise the academic coach wouldn't have lost her job.
