Litigation surrounding the concussion issue in football continues to pile up, and Boston College has now been pulled in to the story. According to the Boston Herald, Glenn Capriola, who was a running back at BC from 1974-1977, filed his lawsuit last week against both the school and the NCAA.
Capriola’s suit alleges that BC and the NCAA knew about the link between football and traumatic brain injuries, but did not properly educate the players about these risks or implement measures to protect athletes. All documents related to the case are available here.
Former players from Stanford, North Carolina, Wake Forest and BYU joined Capriola in suing their alma maters last week, joining a host of others that have been filed in recent years.
