You may have heard by now that Bowling Green has agreed to pay $712,000 to settle a lawsuit with former offensive lineman Cody Silk. Silk had alleged that the university had failed to pull him from play after sustaining multiple concussion-like symptoms.
A bevy of news outlets have reported on this since the agreement was reached yesterday. The case went on in some capacity over the last four years.
Most of the articles written about the topic make note of the important fact that Silk, like all other football players, sign a liability release that demonstrates that they understand the risks undertaken by playing football.
