This tragic case was settled for $7.5M. Nevada taxpayers fund football many times over (CCSD, UNR, UNLV, etc). The Democrat trial lawyers are in power. The permanent brain injury class action lawsuit is coming. We're going to be legally on the hook for perhaps BILLIONS of dollars.
It young men want to scramble their gray matter, we can't stop them. But we shouldn't act as *enablers*. No more public funding of football. If you want to play football enroll at Bishop Gorman or some non-NSHE football school.
Hey UNLV Athletics Boosters. Better start shredding documents, wiping your disks, deleting e-mails and calling your lawyers! You deep pockets are guilty of a lot more than just being football fanatics. You've been giving these future cerebral hemorrhages summer/permanent jobs in your firms, slipping them cash, and so forth. You've been profiting from blood money. I can't wait until the legal beagles start hitting you with Discovery Motions.
Hey Ed Bernstein types. What are you waiting for? UNLV football donors and players rosters are a public record.
Sorry, folks. Football warning labels do not provide immunization from civil liability. Just ask the tobacco companies. Separate sports and State.
