Jay Bergman, the baseball coach for University of Central Florida for the last 40 years, has been fired after he allegedly sexually harrassed the team's equipment manager.
Bergman used a bat to simulate raping equipment manager Chris Rhyce in early March, said the university source and two other sources with knowledge of the allegation. The university source asked for anonymity because he is not authorized to speak for UCF.
The three sources said Rhyce told the university in a written complaint that he was held down on the field, fully clothed, by a baseball staff member before a March 7 game while the players watched. Bergman was said to have grabbed a bat and shoved it toward Rhyce's buttocks.
Dude what's the big deal? It's not like you actually got bat-raped. And even if he had been, it's really not so bad if you've had five or six strawberry margaritas beforehand. Um, at least that's what I heard from someone I don't know who's into that sort of thing.

UCF's baseball field was recently named in Bergman's honor. I'd probably find this funny if I hadn't atteneded Richard Nixon elementary school (true) and matriculated at Pol Pot Prepatory.
The Whitesox do this regularly to Herm Schnieder, but he prefers them to add a little pine tar to the end of the bat, as well as keeping the doughnut weight on for some extra action.
Fired for stimulated rape? This is an egregious mistake.
What is the big fucking deal? I get raped by my boss every fucking time I look at my pay check. No reach around either gentleman.
Wait…WHAHUT? Fired for fake rape, that's even worse!
Sooo… does this mean Rhyce is now an official member of the high school wrestling team?
As a former baseball equipment manager in college myself, this is just one of the accepted hazards of the job. FYI, Chris Rhyce, take the knob and not the barrel. And don't let them see you cry/get an erection.
Baseball fever. Catch it! In the ass!
It shouldn't be rape unless he had two baseballs around the base of the bat to gesture that it was a penis… otherwise it's just a bat up the ass.
40 yrs down the drain because this manager doesn’t like anal.
@slothlovechunk: that's probably what most married men say as well about their wives.
I wonder what happened to the bat?
i had to reread this. i thought it was the minutes from a UCF fraternity meeting
*simulated* rape?
Epic fail.
U-C-F! U-C-F! I love my alma mater!
The only reasons the manager made a big deal is because the coach didn't simulate a reacharound during the rape. Selfish prick.
All right Burnsey! But I'm still stuck in this shithole. Not a good spring for UCF though.
Can I sniff the bat?
in a kinder, gentler age, UCF was an acronym for u can't finish, due to that commuter school's proportionally stratospheric dropout/transfer rate.
now i guess it means u can't fuck.
given what i've seen of the female side of the ucf studentry, that a damn shame, since a fair share of them seemed both capable and ardent about getting to know, in the biblical sense, anything having the dimensions of a louisville slugger – especially when wielded by a fella with over 40 years' experience.
