Civil lawsuit dismissed against former Texas Tech basketball player Pop Isaacs
LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — A civil lawsuit against former Texas Tech basketball player Pop Isaacs was dismissed this week after he had been alleged in the assault of a 17-year-old girl during the team's trip to Bahamas in November.
Isaacs’ attorneys said in a statement Wednesday that the parties to the lawsuit had agreed to dismiss "all claims that have, or could have been, alleged as against one another.”
The plaintiffs, the parents of the alleged victim, filed a motion for dismissal Tuesday in a district court in Lubbock County, Texas, where the university is located. The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, citing the dismissal document, said that motion was signed off later Tuesday by the presiding judge in the case.
Isaacs played in all 34 games for the Red Raiders this season, averaging 15.8 points and 3.5 assists a game. When the lawsuit became public in January, the school said Isaacs remained in “good standing” and could continue playing.
After 59 games over two seasons for Texas Tech, Issacs is now in the transfer portal and not expected to return to the Red Raiders. He averaged 13.9 points and 3.1 assists over those two seasons.
The statement from Isaacs' attorneys also said that the player loved his time in Lubbock and being part of the Red Raiders.
