Lawsuit Claims University Neglect Contributed to NFL Player's Tragic Downfall

The father of former NFL player Phillip Adams is suing his son's alma mater, South Carolina State University, for failing to properly address his son's head trauma.
Adams suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a degenerative brain disease, which his father alleges worsened due to the university's neglect and lack of treatment.
The lawsuit claims that the university's negligence contributed to Adams' violent behavior, mental decline, and eventual suicide in April 2021 after fatally shooting six people.
Adams also experienced head trauma during six seasons in the NFL, but his father alleges that the real damage occurred during his college football career at South Carolina State.
