A former Northwestern basketball player, locked in a lengthy dispute over claims coach Chris Collins and the university used intimidation tactics to force him out of his athletic scholarship, sued the NCAA and Northwestern on Monday over the association's transfer rules.

Johnnie Vassar, a Northwestern junior who hasn't been on the team since 2014-15, said the school falsified timecards from his internship program to try to force him off his scholarship.
