basketball team Dwayne Killing was indicted on January 23, 2023, for 4th degree assault on a player in 2021. The incident took place in the locker room of Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, Ky., where UAlbany was playing in a tournament. This the second legal action relating to the incident. The player involved filed a lawsuit against Killings, athletic director Mark Benson and the school alleging that Killings "violently and viciously grabbed him, threw him up against a locker and struck him in the face, drawing blood." The suit also alleges that Benson and UAlbany instead of protecting a student as a victim of the assault "showed preference to the assaulter because of his race," violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.
