Alabama is firing baseball coach Brad Bohannon after a report of suspicious bets involving his team, with the school saying he violated "the standards, duties and responsibilities expected of university employees."
The firing announced Thursday came three days after a report warning of suspicious wagers prompted Ohio's top gambling regulator to bar licensed sportsbooks in the state from accepting bets on Alabama baseball games.
Alabama said in a statement that athletic director Greg Byrne has initiated the process of firing Bohannon "for, among other things, violating the standards, duties, and responsibilities expected of university employees." Jason Jackson will serve as interim head coach.
