Report: Ex-Alabama WR Antonio Carter files lawsuit against Lane Kiffn, FAU

Former Alabama wide receiver Antonio Carter reportedly has filed a fraud lawsuit against Lane Kiffin, Florida Atlantic and the state of Florida over a job Carter did not get.

SECCountry.com reported that Carter’s lawsuit, which was filed in Shelby County, Ala., near Birmingham, alleges that FAU “deliberately misled him regarding a job on the FAU football staff in order to benefit from his family relationship with a prospect.”

The suit says that after the prospect signed with the school, Carter was told he did not pass the required background checks because of two past misdemeanor charges.
