The family of Calvin "CJ" Dickey Jr., an 18-year-old Bucknell University football player who died after collapsing during practice, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the university. They allege that the university was aware of his sickle-cell trait but failed to take necessary precautions, contributing to his death. The lawsuit claims the coaching staff imposed physically demanding exercises as punishment, which may have exacerbated CJ's condition. The family seeks accountability and preventative measures to avert future tragedies.
Eight months later, Bucknell refuses to acknowledge it caused CJ's death, to apologize, or to institute processes and procedures to prevent a similar tragedy from happening again.
The parents allege that Bucknell failed to take necessary steps to prevent their son's avoidable and preventable death, as they knew about his sickle-cell trait.
