Jury Finds UCF Football Negligent in Death of Ereck Plancher

+

Excerpt: "The lawsuit filed by Plancher's parents alleged that as redshirt freshman wide receiver Ereck Plancher struggled and collapsed during an intense workout on March 18, 2008, the response of coaches and trainers was to "make him stand up and complete the drills." Just a terrible story all the way around. Hopefully this tragedy will bring more attention and scrutiny to the way college coaches handle players with sickle cell trait.
