A number of class-action lawsuits have been filed this year against the NCAA and universities by former players over the handling of concussions by schools during their collegiate careers.
Steve Schmitz was alive but suffering from dementia and early onset Alzheimer's disease when he and his wife, Yvette, sued the NCAA and the university in Cuyahoga County in October 2014. The lawsuit alleged both institutions had shown "reckless disregard" for the safety of college football players and for their failure to educate and protect players from concussions.
"We do know that CTE has only one cause and that's repetitive head impacts of any kind,Wholesale NBA Jerseys Authentic," Langfitt said.
The lawsuit said the link between repeated blows to the head and brain-related injuries and illnesses had been known for decades, but it wasn't until 2010 that the NCAA required colleges to formulate concussion protocols to remove an athlete from a game or practice and be evaluated by doctors if there were signs of a concussion.

The 8th District Court of Appeals ruled last week that the judge erred in dismissing claims of negligence,Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale, fraud and loss of consortium against the NCAA and Notre Dame and a second fraud claim against Notre Dame.

The NFL announced Monday that it would begin paying former players in the next few months from the league's $1 billion settlement of a class-action lawsuit after the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed two pending challenges.
An attorney representing Notre Dame declined to comment when asked if an appeal was planned.
CLEVELAND (AP) — A state appeals court in Cleveland has ruled that the widow of a former Notre Dame football player can proceed with claims in a lawsuit that said her husband was disabled by and ultimately died from concussion-related head injuries suffered during his college career in the 1970s.
