Let's say the Bama player that Blackwell stepped on was out one night. In the course of that night, he encountered some armed robbers and in the course of attempting to defend himself with a legally carried firearm, he was unable to pull the trigger due to the injury sustained from being stomped on. He is then shot and killed by the robbers. Then his family would have a lawsuit against Lsu and Blackwell and the NCAA since none did anything to remedy the situation in the beginning.

Did that LSU player have a history of committing acts with the intention of injuring the player? If so that would complicate matters.
Otherwise it would be hard to sue the SEC or the NCaa bc they didn't know of the danger in allowing that player to play
