Why NCAA was ordered to pay $18 million to ex-football player Robert Geathers and his wife

A jury in South Carolina has ordered the NCAA to pay $18 million to former college football player Robert Geathers and his wife. The organisation was found negligent for not warning Geathers about the long-term risks of repeated concussions. Geathers, who played from 1977 to 1980, now struggles with daily activities due to dementia-like symptoms.
