No. They need to litigate it. This is why you don't get to make important decisions.

Yeah and every SEC coach will talk about Greg Brooks in recruiting against LSU.

LSU needs to not do that and watch this “case” get crushed in summary judgment
This right here. 100%

There are so many causes of Vertigo, with most of them being completely benign, that no doctor is going to immediately refer you a specialist unless it persists longer than they deem normal. I had it when i was in my mid 20s. When i went to the Dr for it, i was given nausea meds and told to come back if it lasts longer than 30 days or if its gets worse.
There is a difference between neglect and bad luck. No one is going to immediately assume brain cancer in an otherwise healthy 21 year old.

That will happen anyway, so it's a non issue when making the decision.

This is all this is, and to be honest, I hope LSU turns around and sues the shite out of them. I hate it for the kid, I honestly do, but this is just disgusting, what they are trying to do. I get it, the family was hoping for their kid to set them all up in life. But, it isn't like this was an LSU thing, at all...and to try and make it one says everything about the scum that they are.

What infuriates me about this is CBK could have said NOTHING. He should have said “no comment”, “can’t discuss it”. Which he did when asked, then started adding shite.
He brought this on himself, now he’s in a public dispute with a plaintiff’s attorney that he will NEVER win.
All downside, and no upside, for CBK and the program to respond to this.
But he couldn’t shut up.
He’s dealt with media for decades, but he still has trouble with it.

But you saw a doctor, that’s the point. Did you even read the lawsuit?

Oh yeah, his choice not to do so.

'non issue'

I have not been following this lawsuit but what are they claiming are the damages? Did BK do something to cause the tumor to not be diagnosed earlier? I see a claim that BK did not contact Brooks since 2023 but is the basis of the lawsuit? I'm probably missing something but what the lawyer and the Dad are saying doesn't seem to be relevant to Brooks' injury.

Why does it matter when Brian Kelly last made contact with Greg Brooks? Who cares? He’s not his caretaker and isn’t beholden to him. He’s his football coach. He visited him after his surgery. Done. Beyond that why SHOULD anyone care? It means nothing.

Nothing. As an athlete, I assume he was used to everything being done for him or catered to by trainers and staff and didn't tell his parents he wasn't feeling well. Surely his mom would have told him to go to a doctor...

You’re not missing anything.
They’re looking for someone to blame for an unfortunate/sad medical situation that has nothing to do with football.
And it’s a pretty logical guess that the family is not handling the potential loss of his future football earnings well.

I’m sorry but I don’t understand why it’s important that Brian Kelly is there holding his hand for the past 16 months.

It’s not. In any legal or practical sense.
They’re using the only lever they’ve got…. PR/media pressure
BK don’t give a shite about the legal proceedings, he knows that’s covered and will work itself out by LSU, lawyers and the insurance company. Dude is pissed about the attack on character and integrity, hence the press conference. He didn’t have to do that press conference, and was likely advised not to do so…..because this is a nothing-burger in the legal world, but the fact that he did shows that he’s fricking pissed.
It’s clear to anyone with a brain you’ve got a family that is 1) processing what is happening and understandably emotional and 2)looking for someone to blame and more importantly a payout. Honestly I don’t blame them as long as they don’t pay anything out of pocket … certainly worth a try.
Trying to apply PR pressure…. Maybe it will work, maybe it won’t. Either way, it’s an unfortunate/sad situation that will inevitably work itself out.
I’m not a PR expert, but it appears to me that newsworthy stuff about this situation tends to die within 24-48 hours, even when national media, so they may have a bigger hill to climb than the plaintiffs attorneys initially thought. It doesn’t seem to be attracting a big support group other than “yeah that’s a sad situation”

I can see how this may look like a money grab lawsuit but I also think the Brooks family could have a case.
If I had a child that needed surgery to remove a brain tumor OLOL Hospital would probably be closer to the bottom of my list in treatment centers.
Not because this hospital is a bad hospital but because research will tell you there are far better centers and surgeons elsewhere.
This is pure speculation but since this was such a highly publicized case; if LSU or OLOL stood to benefit financially from the successful removal of Brooks brain tumor, then they also stand to suffer financially from the unsuccessful results of the surgery from anything that could’ve been done better.
So that’s where the Brooks case has merit. If it was a failed coordinated effort from the school and hospital staff that victimized a family then yes they should sue. But subpar medical treatment should be proven as well.
