LEXINGTON, Ky. — NCAA basketball official John Higgins has filed a federal civil lawsuit against Kentucky Sports Radio, alleging intentional infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy, tortious interference with a business and civil conspiracy.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Nebraska on Tuesday, alleges KSR and its operators Matt Jones and Drew Franklin, caused harm to his family and his business by sharing Higgins' personal and business information about his company, Weatherguard, online and on radio broadcasts.
The suit calls for an award of damages in excess of $75,000.
