Simple question: why don't these 6 women sue the alleged people instead of UT?

I mean that would be most logical right? The university didn't assault them, the individuals did
Gee, I wonder why they would ignore the individuals and attack the University. What motive could there possibly be? Hmmm....

Obviously money, but that doesn't excuse things.

Excuse what? It seems to imply the individuals aren't ultimately responsible for their actions and that the University is which I'm sorry but I was raised to believe that I am responsible for my actions no one else

because in a lawsuit, you sue the party that has money. this isn't something specific to Tennessee.

They're filing a suit under Title IX. It's the university that has a Title IX obligation, not the individuals.
Title IX's requirements are beyond absurd, but they exist nonetheless. The plaintiffs are simply going after the biggest payday that the law allows.

If the Univeristy is systematically covering for them then it makes sense to sue the university too.
Idk the situation but isn't that what is alleged?

in Tort law, employers are liable for the conduct of their employees. If UT employees were negligent, UT is liable for their conduct in the course of their employment.

This should be what upsets you the most, this is common practice and has been for awhile now.

That they were assaulted by student athletes at UT and therefore UT is responsible, there is heretofore no evidence that UT covered anything up
I love how this being treated differently than when student athletes commit other types of crimes

It has always pissed me off the most and it's even more now that they're attacking my university

it's really not. It's the law and it's set up that way for a reason. Let's say a FedEx truck driver fell asleep at the wheel, had a wreck, and killed 3 people in a collision. The family files a lawsuit with the truck driver and gets no money because the truck driver has no money. Or the family sues FedEx and gets a settlement that is appropriate, unless you think their lives aren't worth anything more than the truck driver can afford to pay.

the lawsuit is based on allegations that the university tried to cover it up, not that the university is responsible for the acts happening. if we were only talking about the acts themselves, then criminal prosecution is the legal remedy. Tennessee is not being sued for sexual assault.

If complaints were filed at the University in some sort of official capacity, even more so if to more than one person or department, and those were either neglected or not properly handled then the institution could be liable.
I don't know if this this is the case; just why they are probably suing the University.

Ut fostered the environment, and is liable for it. Duh.

I mean you say this but I have a feeling you are being very hypocritical in this situation. If one of your child or family members was hit by someone who works for a big company, I imagine you would be suing the large company and would be smart to do so

Very well said but its not even just that. Fedex should hold liability solely on the fact that they hired him. What does that drives past look like? Was there reason to suspect he shouldn't be driving? Has he been fired before because of something reckless?

Yes, did the university do its proper homework on these guys?
