In a statement, Florida announced that it was closing the investigation after finding “no evidence” of a Title IX violation.
“The University of Florida takes these matters seriously and works deliberately to ensure that due process is upheld for everyone,” Florida’s statement reads. “After a thorough investigation that included dozens of interviews over the past months, the University of Florida has found no evidence that Todd Golden violated Title IX. The Title IX office has closed its investigation.”
Golden also released a statement addressing the decision and thanking Florida’s University Athletic Association for its support.
“The last several months have been a challenge for my family and me while this process dragged on,” Golden’s statement reads. “We asked for the public to allow the process to work through to its conclusion and not rush to judgment based on allegations. The UAA and so many at the university have been tremendously supportive — my family and I are extremely grateful.
“And thank you to our fans for your incredible support for our players and our program. It has made a huge difference.”
What Golden was accused of
The complaints against Golden were first reported in November by Florida’s student newspaper, The Independent Florida Alligator. Per the complaints, Golden was accused of making unwanted sexual advances on social media and taking photos of women who were walking or driving and sending them to those women.
Golden was also accused of sending photos and videos of his genitalia and showing up to locations of where he knew that the women he was accused of stalking would be.
Golden, 39, has continued to coach the program throughout the investigation. Following a Nov. 11 win over Grambling, Florida’s first game since the allegations were reported, Golden asked the public to “let the process take place.”
“Obviously in this situation, due process, and to continue to support our guys and I would just hope that they would let the process take place and see where it ends up,” Golden said in his postgame news conference.
Golden’s attorney criticizes ‘meritless’ claim
On Monday, Golden’s attorney, William Sheppard released a statement criticizing the complaint as “meritless.”
“Coach Golden and I have respected the process throughout while actively engaging with the university,” Sheppard’s statement reads. “However, there were many who did not respect the investigative process. Instead, they sought to target Coach Golden and drive their agenda and this investigation for their own self-interest.
“Some leaked confidential material to the media; falsely posed as a UF lawyer in an effort to intimidate; harassed UF students and parents to try to generate a false narrative; and harassed my client, his family, and his friends.”
A separate Title IX investigation involving a sexual assault allegation against Florida assistant coach Taurean Green remains open. Green, a former Florida player who won NCAA championships with the program in 2006 and 2007, is accused of kissing a female athletic department employee and putting his hand down her pants, per a complaint reported by ESPN in January.
Green has not addressed the allegation publicly and continues to coach. Golden was critical of the process’ lack of confidentiality when he announced that Green would continue to coach in January.
“So as frustrating and as disappointing and as hard as it is to do, I am going to do what I think I need to do and continue to respect the process, as I have.”
Florida is off to an 18-2 start and ranked No. 5 in the nation. Golden is in his third year as the program’s head coach after previously coaching at the University of San Francisco.
In a recent development, the University of Florida has officially cleared basketball coach Todd Golden of any Title IX violation regarding claims of sexual harassment and stalking. The university conducted a thorough investigation into the allegations and found no evidence to support the claims made against Golden.This news comes as a relief to both Golden and the university community, who have been eagerly awaiting the outcome of the investigation. The university’s decision to clear Golden of any wrongdoing is a testament to his character and integrity as a coach and a leader.
Golden has expressed his gratitude for the university’s support throughout the investigation and is looking forward to continuing his role as the head basketball coach. He remains focused on leading his team to success on and off the court.
The university’s swift and thorough investigation serves as a reminder of the importance of due process and the need for all claims of misconduct to be thoroughly investigated. It also highlights the university’s commitment to upholding a safe and respectful environment for all members of the community.
As the basketball season continues, Golden and his team can now focus on their goals without the cloud of these allegations hanging over them. The university community stands behind Golden as he moves forward from this challenging chapter.

Report: NHL investigating Stars for possible CBA violation after optional holiday practice
The Dallas Stars may have landed on the naughty list this holiday season.
On Saturday, The Athletic reported that the NHL is investigating a potential collective bargaining agreement violation by the Dallas Stars for having an optional practice during the league’s holiday break.
Ahead of Friday’s game against the Minnesota Wild, Stars head coach Pete DeBoer spilled the beans, saying he and young players were at the rink on Boxing Day.
“I was at the rink yesterday. We had an optional, and of course the young guys all show up for the optional, like, you know, they’re supposed to do,” DeBoer said.
According to the NHL’s CBA, in Article 16.5 (b), “December 24, Christmas Day, and December 26 shall be off-days for all purposes, including travel, and no Club may request a Player’s consent to practice on such days for any reason.”
An NHL official told The Athletic Saturday morning that the league is looking into the facts of the practice. A Dallas spokesperson also told The Athletic that “the team is conducting an internal investigation into the matter and is fully cooperating with the NHL.”
After the Wild topped the Stars 3-2 in overtime Friday, Minnesota head coach John Hynes said DeBoer could have misspoke.
“Obviously, the rules are in place for a reason. The league is so competitive and so tight in terms of the schedule, you’d like everyone on an even playing field. The rules are the rules, right?” Hynes said. “But, again, I don’t know exactly what he meant. I’ve got a lot of respect for Pete, so I would lend myself to think that maybe he made a mistake.”
If deemed guilty of breaking the CBA, the Stars would face a steep fine.
The National Hockey League (NHL) is reportedly investigating the Dallas Stars for a possible violation of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) after the team held an optional practice on a holiday.According to sources, the Stars held a practice on a recent holiday, which may have violated the CBA’s rules regarding mandatory days off for players. The league is now looking into the matter to determine if any rules were broken.
The Stars have not commented on the investigation, but it is believed that the team could face disciplinary action if found to be in violation of the CBA.
Stay tuned for further updates as the NHL’s investigation into the Stars unfolds.
