On Tuesday morning, the University of Illinois reached a settlement in their lawsuit with a group of former women's basketball players. The school will be issuing a payment of $375,000, which will be distributed amongst the seven plaintiffs.
Former assistant coach Mike Divilbiss left the program last May after players detailed accounts of verbal, emotional abuse and discrimination to The Daily Illini. An independent investigation launched by the University last May found that there was no wrongdoing by the coaching staff.
Here's the full University statement:
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and seven former members of the women's basketball program have reached a tentative agreement to resolve all pending claims against the university and former or current personnel.
