A football player at Gardner-Webb University sued the university after he was allegedly attacked by several teammates inside a campus apartment during his senior year. The football player and his girlfriend were inside the girlfriend's campus apartment when a dispute escalated involving several teammates. According to the complaint, the confrontation began when the girlfriend's roommates expressed concerns about a male football player staying inside a female-only apartment during winter break.
