Putting aide the pre-trial settlements. The only damages being collected following this $6M verdict is approx $100k under one kids h/o insurance policy?

The whole point of the trial was to get the jury to sort out the percentages of fault. Even though there was only one defendant left, apparently, if the jury would have placed 1) or 20% of the blame on him, then the award against his insurer would have been much higher.
I would assume that the only reason this last defendant didn't settle is because, according to the article, the parents felt that he was one of the ring leaders and deserved to have a significant portion of the blame put on him. The jury disagreed as to that point, but awarded a large verdict anyway.
My question is why did LSU settle? The jury, I think correctly, placed all of the blame on the kids. Even though LSU settled, the jury would not be told anything about that, and they could have placed some blame on the university if they wanted to.
