While we're considered part of the medical staff in a lot of cases, the head coach just sees you basically, in some cases, being subservient to his situation," Kapchinski said in an interview with HBO's Jon Frankel.

Kapchinski added, "They would always, you know, tend to put pressure on you to get good players back."

He sued  the university over his termination which he claims was due to age related reasons.

The athletic department did not comment publicly about why it fired the longtime member of its training staff. Kapchinski filed a lawsuitagainst the university in January 2015, asserting he was terminated due to age discrimination. The 1979 Texas A&M graduate was 56 at the time of his firing.
