Tennessee State has placed athletic director Mikki Allen on administrative leave following an internal investigation, the school announced.

Allen’s administrative leave comes at a significant moment for the athletic department, which oversees Tennessee State’s varsity programs, including men’s and women’s basketball. The school has not announced any further personnel changes related to the matter.
What Comes Next
