Former Oregon offensive lineman Doug Brenner is suing the NCAA for $100 million in punitive damages over allegations of lifelong injuries sustained during a series of controversial workouts as a player in 2017, according to a report from ESPN.
The lawsuit named the University of Oregon and former coach Willie Taggart as defendants.
The lawsuit was first filed in January 2019 on behalf of Brenner by the law firm of Kafoury & McDougal. The initial lawsuit sought $11.5 million from the NCAA. Brenner increased the claim for pain and suffering from $6 million to $20 million and has also added the claim for punitive damages against the NCAA.
