A Jefferson County grand jury handed down an indictment of a Texas man accused of allegedly threatening Louisville football head coach Jeff Brohm, his family, offensive coordinator Brian Brohm and Louisville quarterback Miller Moss.<\/p>\n

Brian Mandel, 38, of Corpus Christi, Texas, now faces six counts of terroristic threatening and one count of extortion, and a warrant has been issued for him, according to multiple reports.<\/p>\n

Mandel is alleged to have made threats toward the three individuals associated with the Louisville football team on Nov. 8 and Nov. 9, according to WHAS11<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The attempted extortion involves Moss, and Mandel is alleged to have tried to \u201cobtain property of a value of $10,000 or more\u201d from the Cardinals quarterback \u201cby threatening to inflict bodily injury\u201d on Moss and people \u201cassociated\u201d with him, the document stated, per WDRB.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The threats followed the Cardinals\u2019 overtime loss to California on Saturday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The indictment did not provide a motive as to what led to the alleged threats.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Louisville athletic director Josh Heird addressed the indictment in a statement released shortly after the news broke.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are aware of the recent indictment of an individual who issued threats directed at our head football coach, his wife and kids, members of his coaching staff and student-athletes. The safety and well-being of our students, staff, and community remain our highest priority,\u201d he said in the statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe commend law enforcement for their swift and decisive action in addressing this matter. Threats of violence have no place in our community or in sports, and we will continue to work closely with authorities to ensure a safe environment for all.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur student-athletes and coaches deserve to compete, learn, and grow without fear. We are committed to supporting them and reinforcing the values of respect, integrity, and accountability that define our program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mandel\u2019s bond has been set at $100,000, and he is scheduled to appear in front of a judge for arraignment on Nov. 17.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The incident is the latest in the vile reactions athletes have been getting, with attacks often being directed at themselves and their families.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Post\u2019s Ryan Dunleavy just recently highlighted the growing problem that many local pro athletes have been facing more and more<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Veteran pitcher Ryne Stanek revealed that he gets \u201cdeath threats all the time \u2014 every day,\u201d and Knicks superstar Jalen Brunson said that he\u2019s gotten messages that \u201cdefinitely crossed a line \u2026 more than a couple of times.\u201d<\/p>\n
