"Plaintiffs have failed to plead any facts that plausibly establish race discrimination within the Women's Basketball Program — a threshold requirement under the law to sustain any of the claims alleged"
Yesterday, the University of Illinois motioned to dismiss the current pending case accusing women's basketball head coach Matt Bollant and his staff for racial discrimination. Filed back in July, seven former players allege mistreatment by the staff towards African-American players including segregated practices and harsher punishments for those athletes. While the defense claims the prosecution has yet to bring forth sufficient evidence for the case to continue, the prosecution believes otherwise.
