I don't think this will end well for Shannon. The rumors around this potential Title IX lawsuit have been going around for a while.
Basically she is going to have to show she has cause and then prove the UM both in regards to Bobby and Travis, handled it differently because of her sex. Albeit it is a civil claim and the bar is a bit lower, but I would be surprised if this case ever makes it in front of a judge.
I'm not a lawyer, but I am familiar with the process as I have seen this lawsuit playout in school districts that I have worked in and have been around. She is considered an at-will employee (to a degree), and the burden of proof gets a lot steeper because per my experience there is going to need to be tangible hard evidence that not only was the dismissal predicated on her sex but that situations of equal comparison Haslam and the athletic department chose to turn their collective gaze away from Travis's program.
On a UM level, this is terrible. Former star basketball player, so enamored with her own gravitas in her circle of friends, seeks to play upon sentiment to absolutely tear apart the football, mens basketball programs so she can get 2 pounds of flesh. I'll admit, the UM botched her firing/dismissal. They had countless opportunities in the prior two years to do, including immediately after loss that spring in the Big Sky tournament. Haslam didn't time it correctly, but it wasn't nor should it ever be considered to be without cause. Nor was it solely focused on the short-term departure of 2-6 players, but rather the sum of a number of problems that had accrued over her four year term as coach. Or so I was told. I just can't see where this goes that doesn't uncover a pile of shit that doesn't make Shannon or the athletic department as a whole look bad.
