I think the school have him access to the athletic service software and he had the skills to access and crack the user credential file - see Brohio's latest comment below. Knowing the names, email addresses, schools, and passwords for a huge population of student athletes made it relatively easy to gain access to social media accounts and email addresses due to reused password or easy to his slight variations. The school is on the hook for allowing him to install his own software on his computer to shield his network activity, but the athletic software company may be more exposed to liability.

A few of us have taken a look into Keffer/The Athletic Trainer System and it has been mind blowing to say the least. I don't want to sound alarmist or deal in hyperbole, but this is the sloppiest, worst protected and most vulnerable database you could possibly imagine. I'll leave it at that. This is bad bad. There is just no way in hell this company survives this. And it's still totally vulnerable as of right now. I can't believe this system made it past a university security assessment.
I don't think he would have gotten the passwords from the athletic training site....but like I said, crackers are easy to obtain and are usually very fast for most passwords. and since humans are creatures of habit and reuse things, you nailed it - easily repeatable/easily breakable.

Stanford Cardinal (official thread)

Stanford football needs 'reset,' fires football coach Troy Taylor

Stanford fired football coach Troy Taylor, the school announced Tuesday.

The decision comes a week after ESPN reported that two outside firms had found Taylor bullied and belittled female athletic staffers, sought to have an NCAA compliance officer removed after she warned him of rules violations and repeatedly made "inappropriate" comments to another woman about her appearance.

"Since beginning my role as General Manager, I have been thoroughly assessing the entire Stanford football program. It has been clear that certain aspects of the program need change," Stanford football general manager Andrew Luck said in a statement. "Additionally, in recent days, there has been significant attention to Stanford investigations in previous years related to Coach Taylor.

"After continued consideration it is evident to me that our program needs a reset. In consultation with university leadership, I no longer believe that Coach Taylor is the right coach to lead our football program. Coach Taylor has been informed today and the change is effective immediately."
