No lol. That's not how it works. For a court to actually hear a sport violence case it would have to be beyond egregious and way outside the norms of the sport. I don't think getting shoved qualifies as that. Courts have more important things to do. They usually defer to the sanctioning bodies (in this case NCAA) to handle punishment, which the NCAA did.

You’re right that it rarely happens, and when it does it is usually due to egregious acts, but the OP is correct that she could be charged. It would be interesting to entertain it, because it was a vicious in the context of the disparity of strength. People often take that into account.
