| Iowa State Named in Player's Injury Lawsuit |  | A lawsuit has been filed against Iowa State University. The school and its coaches have been accused of "not ensuring the safety" of one of the football team's linebackers. The lawsuit alleges that school officials urged the player to continue playing after he suffered a shoulder injury. The lawsuit states that the player was told by the school that "he needed to sign a release from his scholarship or risk other repercussions," clearing the school of any liability. The school's head football coach, Tim Beckman, was fired in August of 2015 and an investigation determined that he pressured hurt players to continue playing the sport.
