Maybe I'm just overly jaded on big-time college sports, but this is f*cking outrageous. The responsibility for this falls squarely on the head coach's shoulders. Who amongst you think he'll actually get canned (as he well f*cking ought to be)?SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Indiana's workplace safety agency is investigating the death of a Notre Dame student after the tower from which he was filming football practice fell over.
Declan Sullivan of Long Grove, Ill., died at a hospital on Wednesday after the scissor lift the 20-year-old student was in toppled amid winds gusting over 50 mph.
It was not clear who made the lift. But one manufacturer of scissor lifts, HHS Wire, says on its website that the device should not be used in winds above 25 mph.
The university did not return calls seeking comment on Wednesday, and it was not clear who authorized Sullivan to go up in the scissor lift to videotape Wednesday's practice.
