This is just disgraceful, but it shows you just how low a hater will go to bring you or your college football program down!.
According to Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson — who addressed concerns after the Demon Deacons were bombed 44-12 by Louisville last month — “there was some type of security breach” and the athletic department decided to investigate the situation.
Now it looks like Clawson was correct, and the story is heartbreaking.
According to Blogger So Dear — Wake Forest’s investigation concluded their own radio analyst, Tommy Elrod, gave game preparation information to opponents.
Now what really needs to be investigated, is how many of those opponents actually used prep information for game planning or game day installations?
“Following the Louisville football game on November 12, Wake Forest conducted a thorough investigation to determine if confidential and proprietary game preparation information had been compromised. The investigation was not limited to the situation with Louisville and was comprehensive in nature. The investigation determined the following:
Based on emails, text messages and phone records, Tommy Elrod, a radio announcer for Wake Forest football games, provided or attempted to provide confidential and proprietary game preparations on multiple occasions, starting in 2014.
No members of the Wake Forest athletic department, football staff or players were involved in any way in these actions.
…Elrod has been terminated immediately from his position at IMG and will no longer broadcast Wake Forest football games. He has been banned from Wake Forest athletics and its facilities.
Elrod graduated from Wake Forest in 1997 and served as an assistant under Jim Grobe for 11 seasons.
Twitter reacts to everything, and had a field day with this news.

The bigger concern with #WakeyLeaks is that teams felt they needed intel to beat Wake Forrest. In football. Not 90s basketball. Football.
