Emotional interview.

Some excerpts:

Paige Shiver said former University of Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore “had complete control over me” and characterized their relationship as an “open secret” in the school’s athletic department in an interview that aired Friday on ABC’s Good Morning America, her first public appearance since Moore’s high-profile firing and sentencing.

“He controlled everything that was going on in my life, and they didn’t do anything about it,” Shiver told ABC’s Linsey Davis, referencing Michigan’s leadership.

 Shiver told ABC she was often asked by Michigan staffers to “calm [Moore] down”, sometimes during half-times of games, and that felt pressure to maintain the relationship.

WTF??   just wow.

“No one cared about my feelings. They wanted to use me to help him so that they could get through the season,” she said.

She also described repeated attempts to leave.

“Every time I tried to pull away, he always had a story, always had a way to pull me in and making me feel that I couldn’t leave him because he was so miserable without me,” she said.

She revealed the relationship to university attorneys last December, she said.

“They knew the things that he was doing to me and no one did anything about it because they cared more about winning football games, not having another scandal, and trying to protect the head coach,” she said.
