Class Action Complaint Filed Against the NCAA on Behalf of the University of Georgia Football Players

Originally published by Jeff Raizner.

Although the National Collegiate Association (NCAA) advocates to safeguard the well-being of student-athletes participating in more than 1,300 conferences and universities, many individuals participating in NCAA regulated teams have experienced severe injuries that often lead to long-term medical issues.

One recent case filed regarding the NCAA’s negligence addresses the debilitating injuries suffered by football player that attended the University of Georgia. The student-athlete at the center of the case played as a defensive end from 1984-1986. During one kickoff practice, the Georgia player was violently hit and knocked unconscious. When he woke up, the player saw stars and – unaware that he was doing so – walked to the wrong sideline. By the end of his career on the Georgia football team, this student-athlete endured chronic brain injuries through more than five concussions. As a result, the Georgia player now exhibits many medical problems and disorders including depression, irritability, memory loss, and sleeplessness.
