FAMU Settles Robert Champion Case

September 18th, 2015 by Mike Vasilinda

FAMU Drum Major Robert Champion died in a November 2011 hazing incident about a band bus following a game in Orlando. His family sued and today reached a one point one million dollar settlement with the University. The family will receive 300 thousand dollars from the state, and another 800 thousand from an insurance company. The University has been fighting the suit saying Champion voluntarily took part in his hazing.  Neither the Universities President or Legal Counsel were available today for comment.
