Amos is a scholarship athlete who is the star wide receiver at Big U, a private university with an outstanding football program team. The week before the game with Large U, Big U’s hated rival, Amos suffered a very painful neck injury that prevented him from practicing. Although Big U’s team physician recommended that Amos not play, Big U’s coach pressured Amos to play because the Large U game would decide the conference championship. Amos suffered a broken neck, causing permanent paralysis, when he was injured during the game in a vicious helmet-to-helmet tackle by Brutus, a Large U defensive back, who was penalized 15 yards for “spearing.” Is Big U liable for Amos’s permanent neck injury and paralysis? Is Large U liable?
