South Carolina women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley filed a $75K lawsuit defamation suit against Missouri athletic director Jim Sterk according to a report from WIS.
After the Missori-South Carolina matchup in Colonial Life Arena, Sterk accused USC fans of spitting on Mizzou players and calling them the “ ‘n’ word.” echoing complaints on social media that coach Robin Pingeton alluded to in a news conference.
The TV station’s report says the suit, filed in Richland County, “cites the ‘defendant's tortious and defamatory statements,’ as the reason for the suit.”
