Former TCU wide receiver Kolby Listenbee filed a lawsuit against TCU, coach Gary Patterson and the Big 12 Conference for a pattern of abuse and harassment.
Listenbee claims in the lawsuit that he “faced tremendous pressure to return to play despite his pain and his condition. These pressures came directly and indirectly from defendants Patterson and members of Patterson’s coaching staff at the time.
His senior year, Listenbee sustained an injury while making a touchdown catch against SMU in 2015. The injury was to his pelvis and was diagnosed as osteitis pubis, according to the lawsuit, leading to a pattern of coaches harrassment and threats to return to action and accusations of “faking” the injury.
