"The Title IX lawsuit, filed in October 2024, alleged that university officials -- including former head coach Bobby Knight -- failed to stop alleged misconduct by former team physician Dr. Bradford Bomba despite evidence that they were aware of complaints about his behavior."
"In her order to dismiss the lawsuit, U.S. District Judge Tanya Walton Pratt wrote that the players undermined their argument by stating that they knew, decades ago when they said the abuse occurred, that the alleged assaults were 'widely known among university staff.'"
"Bomba routinely gave male athletes rectal exams during physicals in the 1980s and '90s despite medical guidance at the time that did not recommend them for college-age men, which the lawsuit claims was sexual misconduct."
A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit against Indiana University filed by former men's basketball players alleging sexual misconduct by a former team physician. The lawsuit claimed university officials, including former coach Bobby Knight, failed to act on known complaints about Dr. Bradford Bomba's behavior. The judge ruled that the players' claims were beyond the two-year statute of limitations, noting that they had prior knowledge of the alleged misconduct. The plaintiffs expressed disappointment and are considering their next steps following the ruling.
