Husker gamers represented are Garrett Snodgrass, Garrett Nelson, Ethan Piper, Noa Pola-Gates, Alante Brown, Brant Banks, Brig Banks and Jackson Hannah. Those whose families are “core” members of the Nebraska parents group — which initially provided the possibility of legal action in an open letter last week — are Snodgrass, Hannah, Nelson, Piper and the Banks bros.
The gamers attorney, Mike Flood, said the lawsuit “isnt about cash or damages, its about real-life relief.” Nebraska student-athletes followed every preventative measure and procedure as laid out by the University of Nebraska Medical Center with the expectation of playing football this fall. An “capricious and approximate” choice removes that opportunity, he said.
Eight Nebraska football players filed a lawsuit versus the Big Ten looking for a turnaround of its decision to postpone the fall sports season and higher clarity regarding how league management reached that conclusion.
The World-Herald acquired a copy of the 13-page problem, which competes the leagues Aug. 11 action to postpone need to be reversed because it didnt follow recognized treatments in the decision-making procedure and was “unjustified” based on flawed and misapplied medical information. The suit is being filed in the District Court of Lancaster County.
” Our Clients wish to know whether there was a vote and the information of any vote, and whether the Big Ten followed its own guidelines in reaching its choice,” Flood stated. “Sadly, these student-athletes have no other recourse than submitting a claim against their conference.”
