More lawsuits against NCAA for concussion

A further 13 lawsuits have been filed against the NCAA for concussion-related claims.

The NCAA is facing 43 class-action lawsuits related to the handling of concussions by Division I football programs after 13 more were filed Thursday.

The complaints also name college conferences and in some cases schools.

The Chicago-based law firm Edelson PC has been filing the lawsuits in batches since May.

The latest are on behalf of former players from Texas A&M, UCLA, Maryland, Richmond, Idaho, South Carolina, Mississippi, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Georgia Tech, Notre Dame, Alabama and Iowa.

Earlier this week, former players from Memphis, Ball State, Rutgers, Eastern Michigan and Florida A&M filed lawsuits.
