Ohio Valley Conference v. Randall Jones

Summary

The court held that claims against the university officials in their official capacities seeking payment of the resignation fee and reimbursement for tournament tickets were not barred by state immunity because the requested payments could constitute legally required or ministerial obligations. It affirmed dismissal of the individual-capacity claims because the officials had no personal duty to pay the university's alleged debts and the complaint did not allege supporting facts for personal liability. The judgment was therefore affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.
