A former Northwestern volleyball player filed a lawsuit claiming the school and its athletic department were negligent in response to an alleged hazing incident in which she was injured.
A spokesperson for the university did not respond to questions about the alleged incident.
In early March of that year, according to the lawsuit, Davis told his team's captains to pick a"punishment" for the player. The captains made the player"run suicide" sprints that included diving to the ground at each line on the gymnasium floor while her teammates and coaches watched. She said she was injured and required medical attention after completing the sprints.
