Does the Board of Education, & ORU open themselves up to a wrongful death claim as well?

If this happened 20-30m behind the play that defense is pretty weak. In that case he's not attempting a tackle and just getting it wrong, he's picking a guy up and driving him into the ground for no apparent reason. You don't have to coach someone to not randomly do that in order to avoid liability.
