Collin Craig came to WKU last Fall to not only go to class as a student, but to also compete at a high level in the swimming pool.
Just like his mom and dad, Collin is a swimmer, but he’s no longer a student at WKU. The accusations he’s making against his former teammates could bring heavy consequences.
The WKU swim team is known for winning conference titles, but it’s accusations out of the pool that have Bowling Green Police currently investigating.
“Allegations were that they was some abuse from swim team members at WKU. We really don’t know what the truth is at this point in time,” said Bowling Green Police Public Information Officer Ronnie Ward.
According to police,18 year old freshman and former WKU swimmer Collin Craig sent them an email one week ago. In the letter, he accuses members of the team of assaulting and forcing him to drink alcohol on several occasions.

The Great Australia Day Swim will again be held in Brighton on January 26.
The carnival raises tens of thousands of dollars for Brighton Rotary projects.
Young gun Dean Wilson will try to retain his 5km title, which the Bonbeach 16-year-old superfish has held for the past two years.
The ambassador for the swim spectacular is record-breaking marathon man John van Wisse, who has conquered long-distance challenges across the world.
Great Australia Day Swim director Stuart McIntyre said while swimmers would have a lot of fun, it was also a great event to watch.
“Over 1000 swimmers will participate in open water events around the pier, breakwater and marina, which will provide a spectacular vantage point for spectators,” he said.
“There will be live entertainment and food stalls on the concourse in front of Middle Brighton Baths.
“It is a great way to celebrate Australia Day.”
