A federal judge has dismissed a class action lawsuit filed by former Indiana basketball players against the university. The lawsuit, filed in 2024, alleges that the players were subject to "medically unnecessary, invasive and sexually abusive rectal examinations" by basketball team physician Dr. Brad Bomba Sr. The judge ruled in favor of the school and former team trainer Tim Garl in their motion to dismiss the lawsuit, stating the players knew both the fact and the causes of their injuries and had complete causes of action against the University under Title IX and against Garl under Section 1983. The other state law complaints in the lawsuit were dismissed on jurisdictional grounds. The plaintiffs have a right to appeal the ruling to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals within 30 days.
