Pamela Fine reportedly filed a lawsuit in United States District Court on Wednesday against former Colorado Buffaloes assistant football coach Joe Tumpkin and several other high-ranking school officials after she said that Tumpkin abused her physically and mentally during their relationship.

According to ESPN.com's Kyle Bonagura, Fine sued Colorado president Bruce Benson, head football coach Mike MacIntyre, athletic director Rick George and chancellor Phil DiStefano, in addition to her ex-boyfriend.

Benson, MacIntyre and George all reportedly "face claims of negligence and civil conspiracy, while Tumpkin is being sued for claims of assault, battery, false imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress," per Bonagura.
