Personal life

Shoop is an advocate for players' rights in college athletics. His dismissal from Purdue and his subsequent absence from coaching in college football have also been attributed to conflicts with athletic department administrators over player eligibility, concussion education and his support of a player unionization attempt at Northwestern and name, image and likeness (NIL) rights. [21] His older brother Bob Shoop is also a football coach. [22] Shoop lives with his wife Marcia in Asheville, North Carolina. He made a recovery from prostate cancer but was later diagnosed with Langerhans cell histiocytosis. [21]
