Former NC State administrators seek dismissal from lawsuit over alleged sexual harassment by head athletic trainer Robert Murphy. The lawsuit, filed by eighteen former male scholarship athletes, accuses the university of ignoring red flags and promoting Murphy despite complaints. The admins argue procedural flaws and claim the case belongs in the Industrial Commission, not Wake County Superior Court. The athletes want their day in front of a jury and counter the three-year statute of limitations argument. The case remains unresolved as federal cases are refiled and a criminal probe is ongoing.
