This from a fan whose then-head coach yelled obscenities at a dying player -- literally. And then ordered trainers and water off the field.
That was the charge, but sides differed. But ... why did this even go to court, and why were depositions taken? Hmmm ...
Did your school ever do the right thing by Ereck Plancher's family or not?
Yes, they were paid $200K like other Florida schools have paid kids who have died at practice. Oh, you didn't know other players died at other schools, including Florida schools? I wonder why the family didn't go to court in those cases ... hmmm.
I.e., the only reason it went to court is because a law firm got a judge to remove the $200K cap. That was later overturned by the Florida Supreme Court. But it had gone to trial and the damage was done. But there is a reason why UAA, Inc. (Florida), FSU and other universities supported UCFAA, Inc. in both trying to get the case dismissed as well as in the brief to the Florida Supreme Court.
E.g., do you know Taggart's history at Oregon? Or even Meyers at Florida? Others?
Everyone likes to focus on George O'Leary for this. But they don't like to look at his GPA and the utter lack of arrests in his program. FAU, FIU, Florida, FSU and USF are basically prisons in comparison to UCF, with several of those having piss-poor graduation rates. I believe barely 10% of Taggart's classes graduated from USF, and other than Skip Holtz, it has been a constant problem at USF with waivers. At least Florida and FSU just have the criminal issues.
