Documents show that NC State officials had qualms about ex-sports medicine director years before Title IX investigation into sexual abuse allegations

Robert Murphy, the former sports medicine director at NC State, was arrested in September on more than 30 charges, including nine counts of felony sexual contact. Documents have revealed that NC State officials had concerns about Murphy years before a Title IX investigation was launched into sexual abuse allegations against him. The report, published on November 12, 2026, suggests the university may have had early warning signs about his conduct.
