Reed’s resignation tied to administration clash at Creighton
Reed left after an internal struggle with Creighton officials during a four game road swing ending in a 103-54 defeat at Drake. An administrator shadowed the trip, interviewing players amid rumors of dissension and drug use, finding nothing remotely alarming. Creighton lost coaches to MVC exits, signaling a broader collapse of Valley football and the conference’s viability for I-AA expansion.
