Former Michigan State football player Keith Mumphery sued the school claiming they are keeping him from playing in the NFL after his due process rights were violated during a Title IX sexual assault investigation in 2016.
The investigation found Mumphrey responsible for sexual misconduct and he was banned temporarily from campus.
Mumphery, who played for Michigan State from 2010–14, was drafted by the Houston Texans in 2015.
After the Detroit Free Press reported details of the alleged incident in May 2017, the Texans cut Mumphrey.
"Despite a previously unblemished disciplinary record and Michigan State’s initial finding of 'no responsibility,' Plaintiff now finds himself permanently dismissed from Michigan State based on false allegations of sexual misconduct and sexual exploitation by a female Michigan State student," the 55-page lawsuit says.
