Gee v. NCAA

VERDICT

Trial
10/21/22 – 11/22/22

Summary

In this trial, Alana Gee claims that her husband and former USC football player, Matthew Gee, was diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy after his death. The NCAA, she argues, knew the risks of brain damage resulting from football but did not increase safety guidelines for players. Ms. Gee asserts that her husband's death was caused by the repeated head injuries he suffered during his playing career, which developed into CTE.

The NCAA argues that Mr. Gee was aware of the risks of football, yet continued to play. Additionally, the company suggests that Gee's other conditions, such as alcoholism and obesity, were the contributing factors behind his death.

Outcome

Verdict for defendant.
