A federal judge has ruled against former Indiana University men's basketball players in a lawsuit concerning allegations of sexual misconduct by a former team physician.

The dismissal was primarily due to the statute of limitations, which the court found had expired, as the players' claims were filed beyond the two-year limit.

This case underscores broader systemic issues related to abuse in sports settings, raising questions about institutional responses and the protection of athletes.
