According to The Athletic, there were over 180 text messages in an 11-day period and more than 30 of them were of an "intimate nature." These included Hendrix telling the player things such as "I love you" and "You're my baby." In one of the messages, Hendrix told the player, "I. Can't. Wait. To. Squeeze. You." The player was also "professing her love for Hendrix."
Miami (Ohio) athletic director David Sayler reportedly became aware of the text messages on April 19, and Hendrix was suspended the following day as the school's Title IX coordinator started an investigation into the situation with the student-athlete. They eventually concluded that "the matter did not constitute a violation of Title IX or the University's Sexual Misconduct protocol." However, there was sufficient information to pursue the termination process because it appeared Hendrix did violate the university's policy on consensual relationships between staff members and undergraduate students.
