An independent investigation launched by the University of Illinois into claims of racial discrimination on the Illinois women's basketball team showed no wrongdoing.
The university released findings Monday morning of the investigation, which was conducted by Chicago law firm Pugh, Jones and Johnson and included more than 18,000 documents, 33 interviews, statements from eight players accusing coaches of mistreatment and review of game and practice video.
Seven former Illini women's basketball players have filed a lawsuit against the university, naming head coach Matt Bollant, former assistant coach Mike Divilbiss and athletic director Mike Thomas.
"We find any allegations troubling, because they don’t reflect our values," chancellor Phyllis Wise said in a statement.
