Ex-U of C football player sues school for $8 million

A former University of the Cumberlands football player, who was allegedly assaulted last year by another football player and an ex-football player, who had been kicked out of school, is now suing the university in federal court seeking an $8 million judgment.

Zane A. Parker filed suit on Nov. 9 against the University of the Cumberlands in U.S. District Court in London claiming that the school failed to protect him against “foreseeable criminal or dangerous acts” on its property, and abandoned him after he was assaulted and recovering from his injuries.
