"Numerous claims of inappropriate behavior were brought against former Stony Brook athletic director Jim Fiore prior to his dismissal by the school on Nov. 19 [2013]"
"Fiore routinely sent inappropriate text messages from his university phone to female staff members and student-athletes, sources said.
Multiple sources confirmed that Fiore would make casual threats, reminding female student-athletes that he could take away their scholarships if he wanted. He also allegedly touched female student-athletes in inappropriate ways, such as massaging their shoulders and, in one instance, rubbing the inner thigh of an athlete who was rehabilitating a leg injury, according to sources."
