Florida State University president John Thrasher announced Monday the school will pay $950,000 to settle a former student's lawsuit alleging that FSU was "deliberately indifferent" to her claim that star quarterback Jameis Winston raped her.

Erica Kinsman said in her federal lawsuit that FSU didn't take her case seriously when she identified Winston as her alleged attacker after she was sexually assaulted in December 2012. Her lawyers have said the school violated the law to protect its prized football program .

The payment is the largest settlement, according to USA Today , in a Title IX case, a federal law which prohibits gender discrimination in education.

With all the economic demands we face, at some point it doesnt make sense to continue even though we are convinced we would have prevailed, Thrasher said in a statement.

An admission of wrongdoing, however, was not included in the settlement and Thrasher insisted that FSU would have prevailed if the case had gone to trial:

Although we regret we will never be able to tell our full story in court, it is apparent that a trial many months from now would have left FSU fighting over the past rather than looking toward its very bright future. We have decided to instead move forward even though we have full faith that the ultimate outcome of a trial would have been consistent with the previous law enforcement investigations and retired Supreme Court Justice Major Hardings findings in the student conduct hearing.

Even after the rape allegations became public knowledge, almost a year after Kinsman went to police, Winston continued to play for FSU, which was having a historic season. He went on to win the Heisman Trophy as the best college football player in 2013 and he led the Florida State Seminoles to the national title. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Winston with the first pick in the NFL draft last year.
