Many were taken aback when the s*xual harassment lawsuit against Todd Golden, the head coach of the Florida Gators men’s basketball team, ended in January 2025 with “no evidence” discovered in accordance with Title IX criteria.
Following the University of Florida’s Title IX office’s announcement that the investigation was closed, the charges which were grave in nature and included allegations of s*xual exploitation and stalking were eventually dropped. The ruling has drawn a lot of attention and controversy, with many people wondering how Todd Golden could have dismissed such claims in spite of the testimonials of young women who said they had been abused.

The University of Florida declared on January 27, 2025, that they had completed their investigation into Golden and had not discovered any evidence of misconduct in relation to the charges.
