Contending the NCAA didn’t do enough to warn her husband and other athletes involving head trauma. The lawyer representing Ms Gee has argued that the NCAA has known about debilitating head injuries since 1928. As a side. When I was a kid growing up in the 1980’s and ‘90s I was told about the potential shots to the head while playing football but there was never a time when a coach or anyone in the staff said to worry about long term injuries to the head.

 

I honestly don’t believe people in those positions thought enough about the after effects and I seriously doubt they put kids back out there with the intent to cause long lasting damage. Reminds me of cigarettes back in the day. Once the science was out on the dangers. Smoking was cut drastically. But people still follow boxing and MMA and I don’t see those sports going extinct. Plus if every player from this man’s generation filed a lawsuit, it would be tied up in court for so long that the NCAA would probably bite the bullet and end up settling out of court. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/matthew-gee-widow-ncaa-trial-concussion-cas...
