Lawsuit Filed Against NCAA for Failure to Protect Athletes from Head Injury


Posted on Nov 16, 2011

Two former college football players are spearheading a lawsuit against the NCAA claiming the collegiate board failed to protect players from head injuries by allowing the coaching practice of 'lead with the head' tackling. The suit, filed by former University of Central Arkansas wide receiver Derek K. Owens and former Northwestern University offensive lineman Alex Rucks, claims the NCAA knew about the coaching practice but failed to intervene. The players also claim the NCAA has failed to present a satisfactory screening program to test players for possible head trauma during games.

Owens and Rucks claim they suffered from concussions and developed chronic headaches, dizziness and mental and physical problems as well as doctor bills for the illnesses after their college years were over. The suit is open to represent other college athletes who suffer from the same chronic symptoms as the result of their college athletic days.
