BUT A MILLION DOLLARS? Lawsuit alleges coach offered beer to student

A Kalamazoo Central High School student is seeking almost $1 million in damages in a lawsuit that alleges her former volleyball coach offered her a beer and that the athletic director told her to keep quiet about it...

The suit claims that in February 2006, [volleyball coach Kilee] Goetz offered Brittany Grayson, then 15, a beer while at a restaurant. The suit does not say whether Brittany Grayson ever received or drank the beer.

I guess I'm not sure what warrants a $999,999 lawsuit here. What I don't like about this sort of thing is that I end up siding with volleyball coaches who allegedly offered student-athletes alcohol. That, if true, is bad. But suing the school, the board, the principal, the athletic director, and the coach for a million dollars is over the line.
