KANSAS CITY, Mo. Comprar Nike Classic Cortez SP Nylon Negro/Blanco . -- Three black womens basketball players allege in a lawsuit that a small southwest Missouri college treated them differently than white students before expelling them without justification.Breauna Carter, Amalia Harris and Dajanae Wilson, all of Kansas City, filed the lawsuit Tuesday against Cottey College, a womens college of about 350 residential students in Nevada, which had offered them all athletic and academic scholarships for the 2015-16 school year. The lawsuit contends the school violated the womens civil rights by creating a racially hostile environment, selectively enforcing its policies and procedures, and retaliating against them for complaining.The women allege that during the 2015-16 basketball season, Stephanie Beason, athletic director and womens basketball coach, treated them differently than the white players, punished them more severely than white players, ridiculed them and did not give them equal playing time.The suit claimed Beason referred to the black players as the Black Attack, and often divided the team into black and white players during practice. But she then wouldnt play many of the black players at the same time during games, even though seven of the 13 players were black, according to the lawsuit.Mari Ann Phillips, vice president of student life, expelled the three students after one semester, saying they had repeatedly engaged in behavior that has been disruptive and intimidating and that has created an unreasonable risk or danger to the safety of other students. No one at the school ever presented any evidence to back up that complaint, according to the lawsuit.The school violated its own policies and procedures throughout the semester by offering the players no chance to appeal or contest the decision, according to the lawsuit.After their expulsions, the college withheld the womens transcripts, making it impossible for them to enroll in another school the next semester. The women are now trying to enroll at other institutions for this fall, said their attorney, Daniel Zmijewski.Cottey officials did not immediately respond Thursday to a phone call and email seeking comment. The non-denominational college was founded in 1884 by Virginia Alice Cottey, who bequeathed it in 1927 to the P.E.O. Sisterhood, a philanthropic educational organization that supports womens education.The lawsuit comes about four months after Iowa State womens basketball coach Bill Fennelly was sued by a former player for race discrimination and retaliation. Nikki Moody, who is black, sued Fennelly in April, saying the coach demeaned, harassed and discriminated against her while she played point guard for the Cyclones from 2012-15. She also sued the university and the state of Iowa.Fennelly has declined to address her allegations, except to deny that hes not the person Ive been accused of being. Iowa States administration has said the universitys Office of Equal Opportunity could not substantiate Moodys complaints of racial discrimination.

The Mustangs (6-0), who beat Queens 50-31 last weekend, earned 17 first-place votes and 287 points in voting by the Football Reporters of Canada. Western was last ranked first in the country in October 2011. Nike Cortez Ultra Moire Summit Blanco/Negro .Y. -- Bills receiver Stevie Johnson has a bone to pick with the NFL schedule maker. http://www.siyaguna.com/nike-air-vapormax/nike-vapormax-cdg.html . Brad Jacobs and his Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., team took control of the game early. It has been another successful Summer Olympics for Team USA, which handily leads the medal standings. Now come the interesting questions for corporate America. Will Michael Phelps, who has a new family, be motivated to cash in? Which company will win the Simone Biles sweepstakes? Will Katie Ledecky, Simone Manuel and Sydney McLaughlin be lured from school for a financial windfall? Here are my rankings of the endorsement prospects for U.S. Olympic standouts:1. Michael Phelps, swimmerAlthough he might be retired, he firmly established himself as the greatest Olympian of all time. Phelps, who has 23 Olympic gold medals, doesnt love making speeches, long the bread and butter of Olympic champions. But he can clean up for years at corporate events. Under Armour couldnt go all out with its marketing of Phelps during the Games, but it will be interesting to see how big they can grow him. Something to watch might be his swimwear partner, Aqua Sphere, trying to grow the MP logo and signing swimmers to deals to compete against Speedo and Arena.2. Simone Biles, gymnastThe most golden gymnast in a single Olympics with four golds, Biles has a chance to make a mint. Expect her representatives at Octagon, which also represents Phelps, to sign four-year deals that will take her beyond the 2020 Games in Tokyo. Companies have been leery about throwing too much future cash at American gymnastics stars because theres always someone new four years later, but Biles dominance in Rio will help alleviate that. Dont expect Procter & Gamble, Hersheys or Nike to give up what they already bought in Biles, who has 2.5 million Instagram followers.3. Katie Ledecky, swimmerPhelps or no Phelps, Ledecky is the most dominant swimmer in the world. She is going to Stanford, which means she cant take any endorsement deals immediately, but perhaps the lesson of Missy Franklin will make Ledecky a free agent sooner. Franklin was a swimming star of the 2012 Games but didnt take money after it so she could swim at Cal. In Rio, she failed to even make an individual final. Ledecky might swim one year at Stanford before turning pro. The swimsuit battle for Ledecky will be the most hotly contested marketing war for a woman that the market has ever seen.4. Simone Manuel, swimmerA company landing the other Simone is hardly a consolation prize. The first African-American swimmer to win an individual gold medal (in the 50-meter freestyle) also attends Stanford, but theres a possibility, like with Ledecky, that shell quickly move to the pro ranks. Manuel already gave a fun and free post-Olympics endorsement when she returned home and plugged Shipley Do-Nuts on social media.5. Aly Raisman, gymnastCaptain of the gold medal-winning Fierce Five in 2012 and Final Five in Rioo, Raisman will get deals for her strong past (she earned four individual-event medals at the two Games combined) and will have a nice speaking career if she wants. Shox r4. Because of her age, 22, she will likely lose out on some endorsements to younger teammates Madison Kocian and Laurie Hernandez.6. Ashton Eaton, track and fieldEaton capitalized on his first gold in the decathlon in London and was prominently featured by Nike and United leading up to and throughout the Rio Games. While the title of worlds best athlete is his again, its really the worlds fastest man (100 meters) who draws most of the marketing dollars. But, out of any U.S. Olympian, he is the most impressive in person and will get significant dollars if he chooses to go for a third gold in 2020.7. Sydney McLaughlin, track and fieldContinuing the theme of companies not being able to get what they want, McLaughlin -- who just turned 17 -- likely wont turn pro until she finishes high school next year. But with Allyson Felix closing out her career and no one else really emerging on the track the way U.S. swimmers have, McLaughlin is a good investment. In Rio, she made it to the semis in the 400-meter hurdles.8. Ryan Murphy, swimmerThere are plenty of young American female swimmers. Not so much on the mens team. Nathan Adrian is 27, and fellow medalist Anthony Ervin is 35. Ryan Lochte, after his bizarre nonrobbery scandal, isnt getting any new endorsements anytime soon, even if he comes back for 2020. That leaves us with the 21-year-old Murphy, who destroyed the competition on his way to winning gold in the 100- and 200-meter backstrokes.9. Danell Leyva, gymnastLeyva, who won the bronze in the all-around in London, took home two individual silvers in Rio. Hes 24, which means he could be back in 2020. The Cuban native is bilingual, a major plus for brands.10. Lilly King, swimmerKing was upstaged by Ledecky and Manuel, but her bold stance against her main competitor, Russian Yulia Efimova, in the 100-meter breaststroke did two things: It was reminiscent of the old Cold War sports battles, and it was one of the boldest statements an active athlete had ever made about a competitor who had tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs. Efimova tested positive in 2013 and was suspended from the sport. Kings stance and victory over Efimova, combined with her sense of nationalism, made her stand out and boosted her Twitter following tenfold in a matter of weeks. King swims at Indiana and, unlike Ledecky and Manuel, the money she might be able to earn in endorsements doesnt figure to make leaving college an absolute no-brainer.
