LAWRENCE, Kan. Cheap Devils Jerseys For Sale . -- The University of Kansas athletic department required female rowers to attend games and encouraged them to socialize with football recruits, according to an amended lawsuit by a former rower who says she was raped by a football player.The allegations were made in an amended lawsuit filed Tuesday by Dan Curry, an attorney for Daisy Tackett, a former rower who no longer goes to Kansas.Tackett says she was raped in Jayhawker Towers in fall 2014 and that the university did not follow Title IX, a federal law which prohibits gender-based discrimination in education and requires universities to try and prevent sexual harassment and sexual violence.This is our clients way of saying there are more facts out there that support what theyre saying and want to make sure theyre on paper so everybody can see what theyre talking about, Curry said of the amended lawsuit, which was filed in response to the universitys motion to dismiss the it.The AP generally doesnt identify victims of alleged sexual assault, but Tackett and rower Sarah McClure, who also says she was sexually assaulted by the same player, have said they want their names used.Even two rowers like (Tackett) and Sarah McClure, who had been sexually assaulted by a KU football player, were encouraged and expected to attend and root on the KU football players under KUs policy, the lawsuit said.Curry did not immediately respond to a Lawrence Journal-World (http://bit.ly/2ayBg02 ) inquiry about where that policy can be found. University officials have consistently refused to comment on the lawsuits except to say the school takes all claims of sexual violence seriously.McClure has said she was attacked in August 2015 by the same man who Tackett accused of raping her. The two women and their parents are also suing the university in Douglas County District Court, claiming the school misled the public by saying student housing was safe. The school has also asked for that lawsuit to be dismissed.The man accused of rape, who has not been named, was expelled after a four-month investigation by the university concluded he committed the sexual assault. He has not been charged with any crime and nor been sued.---Information from: Lawrence (Kan.)

LOUIS -- Lance Lynn was one of the more enthusiastic participants as the St. CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- When Nicolas Batum was asked for his input on the Charlotte Hornets potentially trading for guard Marco Belinelli, his response was swift and definitive.Do it right now, Batum excitedly told his head coach Steve Clifford.Batum believes that with the addition of Belinelli, center Roy Hibbert and guard Ramon Sessions -- along with the return of Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, who was limited to seven games last season due to a shoulder problems -- the Hornets will be better than the team tied for the third-most wins in the Eastern Conference a year ago. Yes, even after losing Jeremy Lin, Al Jefferson and Courtney Lee to free agency.We replaced all of the things we lost with other people who bring something different, Batum said Monday at media day. I hear people are saying we got worse. I dont think so. I think we got better.Clifford and his staff have a knack for bringing in players who are coming off disappointing seasons and resurrecting their careers.Marvin Williams has flourished in his two seasons in Charlotte.Batum, Lin and Lee all had breakout seasons in their first year with the Hornets and parlayed that success into huge free agent contracts this past offseason.Batum signed a five-year, $120 million deal to stay with the Hornets. Lee got a four-year, $48 million contract from the New York Knicks, while Lin played so well in a reserve role he got a three-year, $38 million deal -- and an opportunity to start -- with the Brooklyn Nets.While Clifford downplayed the impact of the coaching staff, Hornets point guard Kemba Walker said thats only because his coach is humble.Cliff has that effect on guys, Walker said. He knows how to talk to guys and he knows how to get guys to take their games to another level. Hes done it with me and a lot of other guys.Williams said Clifford and his staff excel at taking players strengths and using them on the court.They never ask you to do anything you are not comfortable doing or not used to do doing, Williams said. They want you to do what you do best and I think that is why guys are so successful here, and thhat guys want to play for him. Wholesale Devils Jerseys Free Shipping. The question this year is can they do the same for Belinelli and Hibbert, who are coming off disappointing seasons.Since shooting a career-best 43 percent from 3-point range in 2013-14 with the San Antonio Spurs, Belinelli hasnt seen as much action the past two seasons starting only 16 games. Hell still be a reserve in Charlotte, but it is clear Clifford is ecstatic the Hornets were able to get Belinelli from the Kings in exchange for their 22nd pick in the draft.Im a huge fan of Marco, Clifford said. The thing I like about him is he has played his best in the biggest games and he can do a lot of the things we lost offensively with Jeremy and Courtney.Hibbert was an All-Star in 2012 and 2014 with the Indiana Pacers, but averaged just 5.9 points and 4.9 rebounds per game -- well below his career averages -- in 81 starts last season with the Los Angeles Lakers.Hibbert said as free agency was approaching he had hoped to land with the Hornets, but figured the team would re-sign Jefferson. When Jefferson signed with the Indiana Pacers, Hibbert told his agent to get him to Charlotte, where he could work with assistant coach Patrick Ewing, whom he considers an uncle because hes known him since he was a teenager.Hibbert refused to put the blame on anyone other than himself for his sagging numbers, but feels like hes about to turn things around.The onus rests on me to go out there and play with effort and energy, Hibbert said. And I feel like this is the best situation to me to do that. Im ready to go out and help this team win and as a byproduct of that hopefully I can back to play at the level I was before.Clifford said he doesnt feel like the 7-foot-2 Hibbert has lost anything physically, and expects that hell compete with Cody Zeller for a starting spot at center playing alongside Walker, Batum, Kidd-Gilchrist and Williams.I think he is hungry and the way we play will benefit him, Clifford said. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
