The families of two UT football players have filed a new, class-action lawsuit against the NCAA and the Big 12 for failing to educate players about the effects on the brain for playing football. The families of Julius Whittier and Alan Rickman filed the federal lawsuit in Texas Wednesday against the Big 12 Conference and the NCAA. Both played for Texas between 1969 and 1972.
