An amended lawsuit filed by the attorney of former Kansas rower Daisy Tackett claims that KU Athletics has policies in place that requires attendance by rowers at KU football games and encourages them to attend parties with football recruits.
Dan Curry, Tackett’s attorney, filed the amended petition Tuesday in U.S. District Court. New allegations include:
u25aa “KU has an official policy that requires female rowers to attend KU football games, and to cheer and encourage the football players as they enter the field.”
u25aa “Even two rowers like Plaintiff 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 KU’s policy.
