Jacob Volkmann has been placed on paid administrative leave by his employer, White Bear Lake Area High School — North Campus, while the institution conducts an investigation regarding the UFC lightweight’s postfight comments about President Barack Obama.
Volkmann, 30, serves as an assistant coach to the Minnesota school’s wrestling team and also coaches its youth wrestling club for children from kindergarten to sixth grade. His standing as head coach of the squad has not been affected.
It’s very frustrating that they think that I’m being a bad influence on the students. Volkmann told Sherdog.com. That’s what their reason was [for placing me on leave].
