The family of Calvin "CJ" Dickey, an 18-year-old Bucknell University football player, has filed a lawsuit against the school and coaches after his death post-practice was allegedly linked to a hazing ritual. Dickey collapsed while participating in conditioning drills that included "up-downs," and later died due to complications associated with sickle cell trait and rhabdomyolysis. The lawsuit contends that the coaching staff disregarded knowledge of Dickey's medical condition and failed to implement necessary precautions. Dickey's family seeks accountability and clarity regarding the circumstances surrounding his death, feeling transparency can only be achieved through legal action.
"We have asked repeatedly for not just a high-level overview of what happened that day, but for the details, the specific fully transparent details of what happened to him that day."
"The only path for us to get that truth is to file the civil lawsuit."
