At least 15 former Indiana University men's basketball players are alleging improper sexual conduct by a former team physician and saying Indiana officials, including the late coach Bobby Knight, were aware of the behavior. The lawsuit claims the behavior amounted to sexual misconduct and that university officials aware of the issue -- including Knight, who died in 2023 -- failed to stop it. Players allege that they complained about the exams, and some said they asked to see a different physician. The nature of the claims against Bomba and Indiana is similar to other cases involving sexual abuse allegations against team doctors, including those at Michigan and Ohio State. Unlike at Indiana, the internal investigations at Michigan and Ohio State supported the claims of sexual misconduct.
