"Bowling Green State University (BGSU) has agreed to pay $712,500 to a former red-shirt freshman offensive lineman who claimed football team coaches and medical staff failed to withhold him from practices after suffering repeated concussions, which has led to a permanent brain injury.

"Cody Silk, who joined the BGSU football team in 2010, sued the university in the Ohio Court of Claims, alleging the failure to diagnose him with two concussions led him to participate in full contact practices until a third concussion occurred. At that point team doctors medically disqualified him from playing football at the university."

I read this last night and it is disturbing on many levels.

Will the cost of this suit be covered by insurance? That is a HUGE chunk of change for us to pay!

This would be my guess, although I'm not certain.

This is a sad situation. I'm glad they were able to reach a settlement.
