Already named in one lawsuit by a former athlete, the University of Illinois could soon find itself targeted by others.
As the seven families of former women's basketball players consider their options, the father of disgruntled football player Simon Cvijanovic told The News-Gazette on Wednesday that he is seeking legal representation, as well.
Frank Cvijanovic indicated his family plans to file a lawsuit against the university over alleged mistreatment by coaches and staff.
"I think the way Simon was treated at the end of last season was, honestly, criminal," said the father of Simon and Peter Cvijanovic, two former Illinois offensive linemen.
