My son was invited by the soccer coaching staff for an official visit to a university as a soccer recruit. My son is seventeen years old. My wife an I drove him to the university and toured the campus. After the campus tour we met with the assistant coach of the soccer team. Our son then practiced with the rest of the current team players. After the practice the assistant coach introduce us to a few of the existing players on the team. The assistant coach wanted our son to spend the night at the university with the other players in their dorm rooms. We spent the night in the same town in a hotel room and were told we should pick our son up the next day at noon at the university. At 2am the next morning in the middle of the night we were called by the local emergency room asking permission to treat our soon for intoxication. Our son went with other players to a "soccer house" on campus and drank until he was intoxicated. I wen to the emergency room to pick him up the head coach was there. We had no idea there would be absolutely no adult supervision through the nigh that put our son at huge risk. Our son did take personal responsibility, but he is seventeen and was placed in a situation that clouded his judgement I believe. Be took a breath analyzer test at the dorm and he blew a .209. Now the coaching staff has not called back and I believe they have affected his ability to secure a scholarship due to their lack of oversight to recruits and placed my son at risk with underage drinking on campus. Do I have a case of negligence by the university?
