Laurie Fine, the wife of former Syracuse assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine, has announced plans to sue ESPN for libel, claiming false reporting of child-sex-abuse allegations against her husband ruined her reputation.

"I have never engaged in or condone despicable conduct falsely reported by ESPN," she said in a press conference Wednesday.
