UC Berkeley has agreed to a $4.75 million settlement with the family of Ted Agu, a Cal football player who died after an extreme team workout in February 2014.
In a statement issued Thursday, the university also said it has agreed to improve its monitoring of the health of student athletes, including those who, like Agu, have been diagnosed with sickle cell trait.
"The university is glad to have reached a resolution with the Agu family, as it has been a difficult process for everyone involved," Dan Mogulof, a UC Berkeley spokesman, said in the statement. "Now UC Berkeley can continue to focus its energies on enhancing the safety and well-being of student-athletes."
Cal also agreed to maintain a memorial to Agu in the Golden Bears' football locker room.
Agu's parents filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the university in August 2014, alleging "reckless and negligent behavior" by the staff toward an athlete known to have sickle cell trait.
