One again, they sho nuff aint representing the "Christian" aspect of their university. I'm not one to cast the first stone but I'll absolutely present the news.
"Other allegations in the lawsuit include charges that TCU athletic director Jeremiah Donati was retaliatory against Montigel, and endorsed “an ‘Animal House’ atmosphere.”

The lawsuit alleges Donati’s department “does not care about discrimination or sexual harassment.” Examples of this include Montigel alleging that:

'At the NCAA basketball tournament in Denver in March of 2023, a Frog Club fundraiser, was accused of raping a female co-worker who woke up in his hotel bed not knowing how she got there. She reported the incident to the Colorado Police. Both Donati and (TCU associate athletic director for special projects) Michael Levy were present at the Denver tournament when this improper sexual harassment occurred.”[...]

According to people familiar with the alleged incident in March of 2023, a member of the TCU athletics administration was accused of misconduct and was immediately fired. According to the Denver Police Department, there is no report involving any member of the TCU staff in that window when TCU played in the first round of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament.

This is the most damning allegation in the lawsuit.

Other allegations include:
  • “A leader in the athletic department — who was married — engaged in sexual relations with the wife of a highly successful TCU coach, leading to that coach leaving TCU.”
  • “A senior athletic department official was caught in a press box in a compromising position with a female who was senior associate athletic director of student services.”
  • “At the Big 12 basketball tournament in March of 2023 in Kansas City, Missouri, a high level member of Donati’s staff got falling down drunk, became belligerent with hotel staff because he lost his room key, and the hotel staff called security. “This person urinated in his pants, was completely out of it, and had to be carried back to his room. These on the job drunken episodes were not uncommon for that person. Donati was present at the Kansas City tournament and took no disciplinary action against that person who reported directly to Donati.”
