SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — A former linebacker has filed a lawsuit against Notre Dame, claiming the university concealed the results of a spinal scan from him and that he has potentially permanent nerve damage to his neck.

The Indianapolis Star reports that Douglas Randolph filed the complaint this month in St. Joseph Circuit Court, naming coach Brian Kelly among the defendants. Randolph alleges he shouldn’t have been allowed to continue playing during the 2015 season. The complaint says he was later diagnosed with spinal stenosis. It doesn’t specify damages being sought.

Paul Brown, a spokesman for Notre Dame, says he can’t comment because the school hasn’t received the lawsuit.

The suit says Randolph was hit during a practice drill and “suffered numbness.” The complaint says symptoms continued after every impact on the field.

How is this anyone’s fault but his own? It would be like a person shooting themselves then filing a lawsuit against the gun manufacturer and the store that he bought it from. I just hope he has to pay of the court costs when he loses.
