The alleged sexual assault occurred at an off-campus party in April of 2012.

The woman reported the incident at the time, but later stopped cooperating with investigators, NBC reports. The investigation was renewed in February of this year.

She was reportedly friends with the players.

NBC says one of the three players had his graduation put on hold, and the other two are juniors. It's unclear if all three will be charged.
