Anyone see this story about the 3 Oregon basketball players that allegedly sexually assaulted a girl, but now the girl is sueing the university and the basketball coach?

Unless I'm missing key points that I don't think were covered in the article, he's basically being sued because they say he knew one of the players was previously accused of sexual assault when he was in high school? They make it sound like that's the main premise of the lawsuit which seems completely absurd.
The University of Oregon and men's basketball coach Dana Altman were sued Thursday afternoon by the alleged victim of a March sexual assault involving three former Ducks basketball players in a suit that says, in part, that Altman was fully aware that one of the players, Brandon Austin, had been suspended from his former college because of another sexual assault accusation.
The 18-page civil complaint was filed in U.S. District Court in Eugene by attorneys John Clune of Boulder, Colo., and Jennifer Middleton of Eugene, on behalf of the alleged victim, who they say "suffered damages and injuries as a result of the UO's violations of Title IX."
The alleged victim is a current UO student who is listed as Jane Doe. Her Title IX rights were violated, the suit says, because of what it calls Oregon's "deliberate indifference" to the safety of its students by recruiting a player with a history such as Austin's.
