The University of Kentucky Athletics Association said former Kentucky men's basketball coach Billy Gillispie has sued the wrong people and in the wrong place.

The athletics association has asked a federal judge in Texas to either dismiss Gillispie's lawsuit over his firing or move the case to Kentucky. In a motion filed in federal court, the association's attorneys say the school has minimum contact with the state of Texas, giving the court there no jurisdiction to hear Gillispie's claims.

The association's attorneys also claim the University of Kentucky, not the athletics association, hired Gillispie and paid him.

Gillispie sued the University of Kentucky Athletics Association in federal court in Dallas May 27, claiming fraud and breach of contract. Gillispie claims the school never intended to sign him to long-term deal. The school has denied the allegations. He is seeking at least $6 million -- about $1.5 million per year for four of the five years he says were left on his agreement.

Gillispie's attorney, Demetrios Anaipakos of Houston, said the motion didn't address Gillispie's central complaint, that he agreed to a $6 million contract.

"It doesn't matter if you are in Texas or Kentucky, a deal is a deal," Anaipakos said.

A day after Gillispie sued the athletics association, the University of Kentucky sued Gillispie in state court in Kentucky. The university wants the court to rule that the two-page memorandum of understanding Gillispie signed after his hiring in 2007 was not the equivalent of a full contract.

Gillispie went 40-27 in two seasons with the Wildcats, including a 22-14 mark last season that tied for the second-most losses in the program's 106-year history. A stumble down the stretch left the Wildcats out of the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1991.

His one-page termination letter concluded Gillispie was not a "good fit" for the school, and it specifically cited his failure to agree on a full employment contract.

Texas linebacker Sergio Kindle was treated for a concussion after crashing his car into an Austin apartment building last week while he was either sending or receiving a text message, his attorney said. Kindle lost control of the car June 24 while looking at the message. The crash caused about $8,700 damage and no one inside was hurt. After the crash, Kindle pushed the car back into the street and went home.

• Arkansas linebacker Khiry Battle was dismissed from the team after a weekend arrest on a charge of driving under the influence. Coach Bobby Petrino said only that he had violated team rules. Battle, 20, was arrested early Sunday on a charge of misdemeanor DUI. Police say Battle failed a field sobriety test and refused to take a breath alcohol test, leading to a charge of violating the state's implied consent law.

• The family of a former Rice player who died in a workout settled its lawsuit with the school and the NCAA, which agreed to recommend that its member universities test all athletes for sickle cell trait. Dale Lloyd II died a day after he collapsed during a conditioning workout Sept. 24, 2006. He was 19. His death was linked to sickle cell trait and created the basis for the lawsuit filed in state district court.

The NCAA women's committee is recommending changes to the national championship format: It wants four teams to compete in the final instead of the current six. According to a proposal disclosed last week, byes would be eliminated and the competition would be shortened, something the committee believes would make the event more appealing to fans and television. Thirty-six teams still would compete at regionals and 12 still would advance to the championship round.
