The Missouri Academic Coaches Association has recently learned that one of its members, Seth Brummond, was charged with possession and distribution of child pornography. Upon release by news organizations, the Executive Officers voted to condemn Mr. Brummond's actions and permanently expel him from the organization. At no time was Mr. Brummond an officer in the organization nor did he lead sessions at the annual meeting. MACA strongly condemns his actions and as such will not allow him to be involved with or to attend any event it sponsors in the future.
