IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — The University of Iowa will pay $6.5 million to settle discrimination lawsuits filed by former athletic administrator Jane Meyer and her partner, former women’s field hockey coach Tracey Griesbaum. The school agreed in settlements released Friday to pay Meyer $2.33 million, Griesbaum $1.49 million and $2.68 million to the Des Moines law firm that represented them.

Jurors this month found that school officials discriminated against Meyer based on her gender and sexual orientation, retaliated against her for speaking out and paid her less than a male counterpart. They awarded $1.45 million in damages in what advocates for women in college athletics called a landmark verdict.

The settlement avoids a June trial in a lawsuit brought by Griesbaum, whose 2014 firing by athletic director Gary Barta was center to both cases.

Creston Junior Trevor Downing committed to continue his football career at Iowa State on Thursday afternoon. The Offensive Lineman met with Iowa State coaches to inform them of his decision.

The 6-foot-5, 290-pound Downing committed to the Cyclones over Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri and Kansas State, keeping one of the state’s top offensive linemen close to home. Downing received an offer from the Cyclones shortly after Head Coach Matt Campbell’s arrival in 2015.

Rivals rates Downing as the state’s No. 2 prospect in the 2018 class, and he is a consensus three-star lineman.

Downing has played Tackle for the Panthers but many believe he will play Guard in college.
