Former South Carolina State football player Robert Geathers and his wife are owed $18 million after a jury ruled the NCAA negligent in failing to warn him of the long-term effects of concussions, according to media reports.

Geathers, 68, is set to receive $10 million after a civil trial that ended late last week in Orangeburg, S.C. His wife, Debra, was awarded $8 million for loss of consortium. The trial lasted just four days, including jury selection, and the jury deliberated for only 1 hour, 50 minutes before delivering its verdict on Thursday, according to The State newspaper in Columbia.

ccording to the complaint, which Geathers filed in April 2019, he is permanently disabled and suffers “substantial symptoms of neuro-cognitive injuries, including symptoms of traumatic encephalopathy” (CTE). CTE can only be diagnosed posthumously. The complaint asserts that Geathers’ ailments were caused by “the repetitive sub-concussive and concussive head impacts … while playing NCAA football.”

Geathers’ attorneys argued that his symptoms did not appear until decades later. They claimed the NCAA knew about concussion risks associated with football and their long-term effects as early as 1933, yet failed to accurately disclose that information until well after Geathers’ career ended. He played at the school from 1977 to 1980 as a defensive end.
