The family of a student wrestler who died in 2020 from heat stroke has settled with the University of the Cumberlands in Kentucky for more than $14 million, according to the university and the family’s attorney. The complaint filed by Grant Brace’s family claims that during a “punishment practice,” university wrestling coaches “ignored Grant’s deteriorating physical condition throughout practice,” leading to Grant’s de@th.

The lawsuit claims that Brace frequently asked for water before being escorted out of the wrestling facility alone by his instructors. According to the lawsuit, Brace’s body was discovered with his hands clenched in the dirt and grass after he had gone “crazy” while trying to get help and water. The lawsuit states that he was 20 years old at the time.
University officials, in a press release, stated they settled the case for $14.1 million out of respect for the Brace family’s loss, despite being confident in their capacity to defend themselves against the charges made in the lawsuit.
“Grant was a talented, well-liked young man entering his junior year with a bright future ahead of him. Our University community continues to mourn his untimely loss,” Chancellor Jerry Jackson said in the news release.
We hope that getting this matter settled early in the court process will bring the Brace family some degree of peace and healing,” Jackson added.
The family’s counsel also announced the installation of the B.R.A.C.E Protocol at the University of the Cumberlands, a program aimed at educating “coaches and athletes about exertional heat strokes in order to prevent further heat-related de@ths,” as part of the settlement.
The lawsuit claimed that the men’s wrestling instructors fostered a “toxic and abusive culture” in the two years leading up to Brace’s murder.
