Six former Pittsburgh women's basketball players are suing the university and coach Tory Verdi for alleged Title IX violations, according to a report from Mitchell Northam of USA Today.
Six individual civil suits were filed in the U.S. District Court for Western Pennsylvania on Feb. 6 by Favor Ayodele, Raeven Boswell, Makayla Elmore, Brooklynn Miles, Isabella Perkins and Jasmine Timmerson. The lawsuits allege Title IX violations, specifically citing "emotional, psychological, and physical abuse" that created a "hostile, discriminatory and retaliatory environment."
