Doug Brenner Loses $100M Lawsuit Against NCAA, Reaches $500K Settlement with Oregon

Former Oregon offensive lineman Doug Brenner will not receive any of the $100 million he was seeking in a lawsuit against the NCAA despite a jury finding the college athletics governing body guilty of negligence, according to ESPN's Heather Dinich.

Brenner was seeking damages for injuries he suffered during a 2017 workout while playing college football at Oregon. According to his attorneys, the injuries occurred because the NCAA doesn't have any rules about overworking players.

That said, the jury didn't believe the NCAA's negligence contributed to Brenner's injuries, per Dinich.

One of Brenner's attorney's, Jason Kafoury, said they will appeal the decision:

"We hope this case is a shot across the bow to the NCAA, and that it will further the effort to protect student-athletes from preventable injuries and deaths.
