TL;DR Summary

Two basketball players have filed a lawsuit against New Mexico State University, accusing it of negligence, vicarious liability, and violation of the state's civil rights act after they allege they complained about being assaulted by fellow players and were ignored. The three players named in the suit are being accused of sexual assault, battery, and false imprisonment. The two players allege the abuse went on for months, despite them reporting it to the coaching staff. The university suspended its basketball program and fired the team's head coach in February, saying at the time this was due to a "hazing incident."
