Sheely’s parents sued the NCAA, three members of the FSU coaching staff, and the helmet manufacturer and distributor. It is unclear how much money each of the defendants will have to pay in the settlement, except that the Maryland Board of Public Works will pay $50,000 on behalf of the FSU coaching staff.
