Former BYU linebacker Larry Carr intends to drop his lawsuit against the school, because he’s encouraged about the brain treatment he’s receiving and the athletic department’s potential interest in joining a study designed to help athletes.
Having met recently with BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe and the department's medical staff, Carr said, “I'm comfortable that Tom is very concerned about the health and safety of the athletes.”
Carr is hoping to facilitate research by a University of Utah neuropsychology group that would begin with a pilot study of former football players and other athletes and may expand to current BYU athletes, he told The Salt Lake Tribune.
