Credit Eastern Illinois University CHICAGO — Adrian Arrington, the lead plaintiff in a class-action concussion lawsuit against the N.C.A.A., said Tuesday he opposes the proposed settlement and that his lawyers agreed to the deal without his knowledge.
In a statement released through the National College Players Association, Arrington called the settlement “completely unacceptable.”
“The first time I learned about it was in the media,” Arrington said. “I feel that I have been misinformed and the preliminary settlement doesn’t address the reasons I filed the lawsuit in the first place.”
