'13 VA OLB Doug Randolph (Notre Dame Signed LOI)

[Luckylucci]

Nice of him to graduate with his degree free of charge first.

Kid is a bastard and unfortunately college football is gonna see more and more of this.

Bitch move, that's for sure.

Doug has to know how many bridges he's going to burn looking for a quick money grab right?

Yeah, he better hope he wins a lot in a settlement because he's being officially blacklisted by every major corporation with ND alum in positions of power.

Story just hit the main page of ESPN.com. Of course, if it was something positive regarding ND they would probably not report it altogether.

/lawsuit

This remark might doom his chances.

 

[Shamrock Theories]

Some uh...interesting responses here.

If ND's medical staff was negligent, he deserves a settlement. If they weren't he doesn't.

And we have no idea which is the truth.

Let's just leave it at that.

Doubt it, it's a medical malpractice lawsuit where the doctor could've totally been negligent and will probably settle out of court.

Post I saw on ISD:

Here is where I call BS-

from an ISD article back in the day:

"Not only are Randolph's parents both doctors, but so are his brother and sister.

Will he follow suit?

"I'm not sure yet," he laughed. "I've got a lot of time to think about it."

You're going to tell me that not one of them asked to see the MRI report or the scans themself?!?!?

I'm a physician, and my wife once had a seizure, which lead to an MRI, and a diagnosis of a benign brain tumor. You can bet I read the MRI report, talked to the radiologist, and looked at the scans. Ditto when my son with Migraines had an MRI of his brain.

I think I remember someone in the family was an orthopedist. You're telling me that a family of physicians had a son/brother who suffered an injury, lost feeling in an extremity, underwent an MRI, and no one called the radiologist or asked to see the report or the scan?

Makes me wonder. Plus I'm not sure where ND stood to benefit from lying to him, it's not like they stood to benefit from all of his play.

And shouldn't the orthopedic surgeon who ordered the MRI relay the results from the radiologist directly to Doug and not the coach? This seems so suspect. I can't imagine a radiologist or orthopedic surgeon would tell ND he has this problem and needs to medically retire. Then hear about him still playing and not say anything... this seems so squirrelly.

His whole angle about "concealing" information from him seems rather obviously to be bullshit. He never asked for the MRI, never tried to get a second opinion, etc. Nobody withheld anything from from him that he asked for. Despite having a family of doctors, who would have obviously wanted to look at the results if Doug thought it was a big deal.

There is a 0% chance that anyone maliciously concealed information from him that he wanted in order to keep a 3rd string player active... they would've rather had the scholarship freed up. The fact that they're suing though tells me that the ND doc almost surely got the initial diagnosis wrong and his parents think it's malpractice.

Smells like a money grab. I'm going to assume so unless proven otherwise.

Latest from the Indy star. Nothing major, just BK stating he was surprised by the lawsuit.

Has it been confirmed yet that Randolph's attorney is a Jawja alum?

It's all a distraction to win the game....

I keeed....

I hate that he is suffering...dont want that. I can see how someone might have missed the diagnosis I guess...but the underlying message is, ND only cares about winning...so, how many games did Doug Randolph decide...how many games did Doug Randolph make a tangible impact? I don't doubt someone screwed up...but the idea anyone would do so with intent...the payoff isn't there.
