Former college basketball star sues over investigation

Story here. Excerpt:

'Former ISU basketball player and 2014 graduate Bubu Palo, who faced rape allegations while in college, is suing Iowa State and the Iowa Board of Regents for what he says was a mishandling of his case.

Iowa State or the Iowa Board of Regents hadn't filed a response to the petition, which was filed March 21, as of Wednesday.

Palo is claiming that ISU officials found him guilty despite insufficient evidence and used the disciplinary system to not give Palo the chance to transfer to another school, according to a petition obtained from the Story County District Court.

Palo also claims in the suit that the wrongful ruling handed down by the university "destroyed" his opportunity to play professional basketball because he was suspended and later benched during his junior and senior years, according to the petition.'
