LSU player files complaint after year-long suspension for Title IX violation

An LSU football player suspended for a Title IX violation filed a complaint against the university Thursday, alleging it made an "unjust and discriminatory decision... following a biased, flawed, confusing and unlawful process."

The player, who is not identified in the complaint, in March was found responsible for the violation, which alleges that he engaged in nonconsensual sexual intercourse with a female LSU student. In May, LSU suspended the player for a year.

The complaint asks for LSU's decision to be vacated and for the player to be reinstated to the school's football team on a full athletic scholarship.
