- do the families of the boys that passed away get just get funeral expenses, do their families get reimbursed for out of pocket expenses as well? do the families of the boys that passed get a lump sum in addition to burial expenses?
- does the one player who walked away get a lump sum, or do you just ensure that any mental needs he may have are taken care of and the long term needs of other players - like srtazinski (sp?) will likely be greater given his injuries
- how do you factor in a future insurance payments as i would assume the trucking company had some insurance and there will be something there in the future

thsoe are a few questions that quickly came to my mind and i am sure there are more.

this is a complicated situation and it will be itneresting to see how it is sorted out. furthermore, what if some parties disagree with how the disbursement is handled.
My biggest fear about any charity, but especially when we're talking about this amount of money, is dirtbags pocketing something. I'd really hope that whatever happens with the money that it's very transparent
