Former Oregon offensive lineman Doug Brenner lost his civil case on Friday vs. the NCAA, in which he sued for damages based on an incident in Jan. 2017 when he and two other football players were hospitalized with exertional rhabdomyolysis.
The circuit court in Lane County, Ore. found the NCAA negligent, but that it did not cause damages in a 10–2 majority vote in favor of the NCAA.
The jury voted in favor of the NCAA as it could not unilaterally enact bylaws within the organization’s constitution. The NCAA argued that the association is separate from its members because of this.
