A lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court claims Kansas University compelled its female rowers to attend Jayhawk football games. This included athletes who'd reported assaults by Kansas football players.

The suit was filed by a former KU rower earlier this year and amended on Tuesday. She is accusing the university of numerous Title IX violations. Among the issues in the amended petition, per the Kansas City Star:
  • "KU has an official policy that requires female rowers to attend KU football games, and to cheer and encourage the football players as they enter the field."
  • "Even two rowers like [redacted], who had been sexually assaulted by a KU football player, were encouraged and expected to attend and root on the KU football players under KU’s policy."
  • "KU has an official policy and practice of entertaining football recruits in hotels just off campus and encouraging female KU athletes to attend parties with the recruits.
=====================
There are so many levels of this beyond that it is KU and KU Football. When does "Big Daddy" have the authority to force people to socialize?
