Former Oregon Ducks OL Doug Brenner Sues the NCAA For $100 Million in Damages

Doug Brenner, a former Oregon offensive lineman, is suing the NCAA for $100 million in punitive damages in a trial that begins Tuesday in Eugene and also names the University of Oregon and its former head football coach, Willie Taggart, as defendants.

Brenner alleges in the lawsuit he sustained lifelong injuries during a series of controversial workouts in 2017.

The law firm of Kafoury & McDougal first filed the suit on behalf of Brenner in January 2019 in circuit court in the state of Oregon and sought $11.5 million from the NCAA. According to documents obtained by ESPN, Brenner increased the claim for pain and suffering from $6 million to $20 million, and has added the claim against the NCAA for punitive damages.
