TCU's Gary Patterson responds to allegations in lawsuit by ex-player

TCU coach Gary Patterson said he was "a little bit hurt" by allegations in a lawsuit filed by former player Kolby Listenbee and defended how the school handles player injuries.

Speaking Sunday to reporters after TCU's first weekend of spring practices, Patterson didn't go into detail about the lawsuit, which accuses him and other TCU officials of pressuring Listenbee to play through a pelvis injury in 2015, but said he's "excited to tell our side." The lawsuit, filed in January, seeks more than $1 million and names Patterson, former TCU athletic director Chris Del Conte, the Big 12 Conference and others.
