The family of Zack Langston, the former Pittsburg State University football player who fatally shot himself in 2014, is reportedly suing the NCAA for its handling of concussions.
The Associated Press (h/t ESPN.com) reported the news Monday and noted the federal lawsuit was filed Friday. In addition to "questioning the governing body's handling of concussions, including more than 100 they say factored into Zack Langston's death," the suit accuses the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association of negligence.
Langston was 26 years old when he died.
The AP report cites the lawsuit allegations saying Langston suffered through behavioral issues and mood swings after he finished playing football.
