"Athletic administration and Kevin Tidey knowingly allowed 14 players to play while being ineligible in a season they won the conference and made it to a regional. Openly allowing cheating is the only way Kevin Tidey wins. A mom could actually coach better. The NCAA should investigate the open CHEATING Davenport allows for two sports: Baseball and football. The only way they can compete is to cheat. It’s shameful how the athletic department covers this all up!! Someone from the NCAA needs to investigate this. Kevin Tidey should have vacated wins and championships if the truth is ever discovered! A shamefully corrupt institution. "

"Has always been a creep and all about himself. Not a good coach or a good role model. He is married man and has slept with a member of the athletic administration so just goes to show what a low life individual he is! Maybe someone should investigate how that ties into all the problems their softball team had and their interim coaches sudden interest in the program…..also the sudden help of Kevin to assist once she stepped in. Truly a disturbing place to go to school at. Get where the world is going!! Sleep with your superiors for personal gain!!!! "

"Not a good coach but a decent talker. Can’t coach improvement in anything bc he doesn’t know anything mechanical but the school allows more scholarships than anyone else so not surprised on the talent he can get and unlimited resources makes it easier. I think my mom could manage the team just as well but he is the ultimate bullshitter. Tidey was a terrible baseball player so not surprised to see he’s not good with anything fundamental. "

"2025 GLIAC Coach of the year… 3 GLIAC championships in 5 years in the conference after transitioning from NAIA to D2… have never met a coach that cares more about his players & helps them develop into not only better players, but better people. I strongly encourage you to talk to any of his current/former players or colleagues about him. One of the best in the business!!!"

"They should do a news story on how you abused your power and abused your little softball sister. You talked too much s**t to too many people. They should do a story how Paul Lowden lets you get away with anything you want and how Ronda Varnesdeel treats female coaches like crap. A story of GREED. What a power struggle for you. You wouldn’t last working at any other school because you’re corrupt. Unlimited resources should have bought you way more wins than you have! Did you offer Ronda Varnesdeel more money too- everyone in GR knows that’s all she’s after. "

"Having a good year, don’t worry they will COVER all of Kevin Tidey’s wrongdoing up. He makes unethical decisions and others are punished for doing the right thing. Davenport University’s athletic department is as corrupt as they come. You have Assistant SID’s partying with student athletes, head baseball coaches drinking with student athletes, facilities workers sleeping with student athletes, Assistant Ad’s not only covering it all up but also having inappropriate relationships with student athletes. The head volleyball coach has been black out drunk with student athletes, male trainers entering female athletes rooms at night with the door closed, and even the women’s basketball coach sleeping with a student athlete. Just an absolutely messed up place to be. "
