The assistant women's bowling coach at Stephen F. Austin University resigns after his affair with a student-athlete came to light, officials say.
When officials at the Nacogdoches, Texas, school learned about the relationship in April, Director of Athletics Ryan Ivey confronted assistant coach Steven Lemke, 38, and he did not deny the relationship, officials said."Mr. Lemke is no longer an employee of the university," SFA chief marketing officer Graham Garner said."He chose to resign so we consider the matter closed."
Head coach Amber Lemke remains the head coach and she filed for divorce against her now-estranged husband on April 27, according to court records. The athlete was not identified, but Garner said this past bowling season had been her senior campaign.
