This is so sad. May he RIP.

The parents of Grant Brace, a University of the Cumberlands wrestler, say their son died from an "exertional heat stroke" after struggling to find water. When he became exhausted and begged for a water break during training, one of his coaches allegedly told him to keep going or he'd be kicked off the team. Brace’s grieving parents say he desperately tried to find water but he collapsed and later died. The parents sued the university and two of Brace’s coaches for wrongful death. Without admitting any wrongdoing, the university and the two coaches settled the lawsuit with his parents, with the school agreeing to pay $14 million. The university says it will work with an expert to help raise awareness about heat-related injuries. Grant's coaches did not respond to Inside Edition's requests for comment.

Very sad. Cutting weight, being tough, not stopping are all part of being a great wrestler. Coach is at fault. Has to know when to say enough

Your theads are looking for water. This has been discussed in the 33 months since it occurred.

Water denial by coaches in sports is top level stupidity.

Googled the college thinking it was the old Cumberland College that played football against LSU back in the late 1800’s. It’s a different college.
University of the Cumberlands has 3000 undergrads and 13000 grad students. Sounds like an online haven for graduate degrees. Usually the split would be the opposite in a normal college

Look, we didn't do anything wrong, but here's $14 million bucks.

Coaches that let this happen today need to be run.

This happened a while back, but the details of the story are heartbreaking. UC is going to pay big time and they should.
