The school admitted liability for his death and paid Agu’s family $4.75 million.

Bridgette Lloyd follows such cases from her home in Houston. The death of her son, Dale, at Rice in 2006 prompted the family to sue the NCAA, resulting in the settlement that led to sickle cell testing. Dale Lloyd would have turned 31 next week.
