LOS ANGELES — A former USC linebacker is suing the university, alleging school officials guided him in purchasing a disability insurance policy that turned out to provide inadequate coverage after he was hurt.
Morgan Breslin filed the complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging breach of contract, fraud and both intentional and negligent interference with prospective economic relations. The suit filed Friday seeks unspecified damages.
A USC representative did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
Now 24, Breslin was designated an exceptional student athlete for the 2013-14 season as part of an NCAA program that encourages athletes to stay in school and complete their degree program while being offered the chance to buy disability insurance, the suit states.
