Fresno State football player Shane Gama says he nearly died during a summer practice.
More than a month later, his family awaits answers from the university about what happened.
“Basically, I should be dead,” Gama said in a church testimony video that was posted on Facebook by a relative.
Fresno State has hired the Overland Park, Kan.-based law firm of Bond, Schoeneck & King to conduct an external investigation. Findings, however, aren’t expected for about another month, said Steve Robertello, deputy director of athletics.
Gama, an offensive lineman who transferred from Southwestern College and under team rules is not permitted to talk to the media until he plays in a game, remains on the road to full recovery.
