Knight files suit against University

Six months ago, IU thought its court battle with former men's basketball coach Bobby Knight was finished, but Knight filled suit again Thursday.\nThe suit names IU and the Indiana Insurance Co. as defendants in a lawsuit alleging IU did not pay for Knight's legal expenses during his court battle with former IU assistant coach Ron Felling as well as a breach of contract. \nThe lawsuit states the University's indemnification policy calls for the University to pay the legal costs of officers and employees. Also, Knight believes his insurance policy with Indiana Insurance Co. should have paid for some of his legal expenses.\nKnight was IU's coach for 29 years before being fired in September 2000.\nSee tomorrow's Indiana Daily Student for full coverage on this story.\n-- The Associated Press contributed to this report.
