Jenkins is also alleged to have told the players to delete the messages.One anonymous former player toldJames Crepeaof AL.com that she had been sent "inappropriatemessages" byCorey Myers, who resigned before the Georgia trip."People are so scared to come out because they think that nothing's going to come about it because of who (the Myerses) are," she told Crepea.
