FORMER PLAYER SUES NOTRE DAME, COACH KELLY

A former Notre Dame football player is suing the university for negligence, alleging that results of a spinal scan were concealed from him and that he should not have been allowed to continue playing. Instead, former linebacker Douglas Randolph alleges, he played the entire 2015 season. Afterward, his complaint said, Randolph was diagnosed with spinal stenosis and has been told he has potentially permanent nerve damage in his neck. The complaint, filed this month in St. Joseph Circuit Court, names coach

Brian Kelly among the defen- dants. It does not specify an amount being sought for damages. University officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
