EDITOR’S NOTE After The Spear broke the news of the Title IX investigation of softball assistant coach Chase Turner at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, the Spartan Daily contacted the San Jose State Athletics Department. We believe in fair reporting, however, it is difficult to get both sides of the story when only one side is willing to speak. The Spartan Daily staff tried repeatedly to contact multiple people from San Jose State athletics, media relations and human resources without comment. Here is the softball team’s perspective of the investigation, according to the Spear. – Lindsey Boyd, Sports Editor Softball coach cleared of misconduct allegations SJSU softball players tell The Spear an anonymous letter was sent to SJSU Athletics addressing concerns
