The one thing this headline claims is in the report.

Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. One claim in this headline could be checked, so this is a narrow pass and not a thorough one. How this is checked

Steve Belichick steps down as defensive coordinator.

Inquiry finds ‘certain actions’ disregarded school values.

GM Michael Lombardi resigned earlier this month.

The school released a statement Thursday morning saying Steve Belichick’s resignation would be effective in late October at the conclusion of a medical leave, which was announced early in preseason camp.

The school said the actions were “isolated in scope” and “not a systemic failure”, and that “corrective actions” are now under way under the watch of the athletic department and the Office of University Counsel.

Shortly after Lombardi’s resignation on 3 September, Raleigh TV station WRAL reported the type of questions asked of some interviewees during the investigation.
