Show Notes
Tuskegee University basketball coach Benjy Taylor, represented by high-profile civil rights lawyers, has filed a lawsuit against Morehouse College and two campus police officers. The lawsuit, seeking over one million dollars, stems from an incident where Taylor was handcuffed and led off the court following a tense game. The incident occurred after Morehouse football players taunted Tuskegee players during the game and joined the postgame handshake line, leading to a request from Taylor for security to follow conference rules and clear them out. Taylor felt violated and embarrassed, with the incident being shown on the arena jumbotron and national TV. The lawsuit argues that the officers failed to de-escalate and instead targeted a coach trying to protect his team, highlighting tensions in college sports rivalries and questions of accountability on HBCU campuses.
