They may sue the prosecutor, Dist. Atty. Mike Nifong, whom a judge orders to leave office at once.

ATLANTA — Duke University said Monday that it had reached an undisclosed financial settlement with three former lacrosse team players falsely accused of raping an exotic dancer.

David Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann were indicted on charges of rape, kidnapping and sexual offense after the woman told police she was attacked at a March 2006 team party. Evans, a senior, graduated the day before he was indicted. Finnerty and Seligmann, who were sophomores, were suspended. The school in Durham, N.C., also canceled the remainder of the team's games that season and forced the coach to resign. [/i]

All three players proclaimed their innocence from the start.  


What about the coach?  He lost his job for a lie and he's just hosed?

I reckon that's a question his attorney would be able to answer :)
