May 7, 20224 yr No. I feel a little bad for Brenner, if in fact the medical reports are accurate that he faces potential dialysis and a shortened life expectancy. Future medical bills could be extravagant, kidney disease and a shortened life seem worth more than $500,000 less a significant amount for attorneys. That said, I also don't see the liability to be the NCAAs as much as U of Os, and especially the coach and strength coach. I also didn't see the lack of an NFL career as much of a factor. There obviously must be factors present I don't know about that explain how they arrived at the settlement they did.
May 7, 20224 yr No. I agree that NCAA wasn't responsible for practice, but I think they could regulate intensity levels like they do with wearing pads. And workouts should never be designed around punishment. I'm disappointed that neither coach was held accountable. Who else would be?!

Plaintiffs doctors are paid to render an opinion on behalf of the plaintiff.
