Good response but this is a monumental shite show. For whatever reason, his Dad wanted maximum damage for LSU.

The hit piece should end here. It took 1 day for the B.S. to be proven false. There are free articles on the internet that document Kelly being at the hospital. Too bad social media will still try to run with the negative.

“Factually incorrect” that BK hasn’t seen or been in contact with Greg & his family since October of 2023, as predicted

One of the many unfortunate by products of having a system where you have to pay ungodly amount of money because you had the poor luck of getting a tumor.

ETA appears to not be as relevant in this case since LSU covered medical expenses. Hand up on not thinking through that

But this isn’t true in this case. Brooks paid $0.0

LSU's insurance policy covers his medical expenses. Additional related expenses can be paid for through funds raised by LSU through the Greg Brooks fund.

Exactly... no one will actually take the time to set the record straight and right an article or do a segment on the facts but after one once of actual research the story will be dropped and we'll all move on to the next clickbait story.

my son was able to get a pilot training slot in a guard unit to fly F-15s, he is a smart, very athletic kid, football player in hs, had offers as a preferred walk on, wanted to focus on academics and fly jets, he started to develop headaches, didn't think anything of it, had a seizure in the shower after a workout, rushed to the hospital, emergency surgery to remove a brain tumor, and it will keep recurring for the rest of his life and will need subsequent surgeries, end of flying aspirations before he ever got started, he never thought to sue anyone for anything, just sucked it up and carried on with his life

he is suing LSU for money. Money he probably needs for Greg.

he is going to do as much bad PR for LSU as possible to push for a settlement.

Just what I thought. The parents are lying. How big of a pos do u have to be in order to lie about people like the head coach and the staff. I would be willing to bet that his parents were well informed and told everything about their sons situation.

FIFY. The lawsuit will be complicated by any number of factors, not least of which is that it doesn't look like anyone was negligent. This is about getting money.

LSU by far has the deepest pockets.

Med Mal is capped outside special damages.


lBut LSU also probably has the hardest case to prove. 39
days is not an insanely long time. So what’s the duty on a football staff to figure out a kid needs a cat scan?

Everything else is just PR.

As soon as something bad happens to someone, a large portion of people find unfathomable that they could behave scummily.

The tragedy of these circumstances actually make it worse in my opinion.

I wish GBJ a full recovery. I also wish this didnt become what it appears it has become.

Is this his prepared statement or just a transcript of what he said?
