More than 100 lawsuits claiming negligence were filed by former NFL players, and additional lawsuits have been filed by former college football players. These lawsuits claim that the NFL and NCAA failed to implement reasonable rules and regulations protecting players from devastating head injuries resulting in concussions and traumatic brain injuries.
