OSU basketball player Tyrek Coger dies after team workout

Heat stroke, enlarged heart, whatever it is, they had these fellows running up the stadium stairs in this heat wave, 99 degrees in OK, 106 heat index. Pretty bad really, to me, it looks like the school faces some responsibility and legal issues. It's bad enough when it happens with pro-teams.

OSU basketball player Tyrek Coger dies after team workout

 STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma State basketball player Tyrek Coger died from an enlarged heart after a 40-minute team workout on the football stadium stairs in hot weather, officials said Friday.

While the temperature was 99 degrees, it wasn't known if the weather played a role in Coger's death. The 22-year-old forward, who had recently transferred to OSU, did not appear to struggle during Thursday's workout at Boone Pickens Stadium, school spokesman Gary Shutt said at a news conference.

Coger sat down after the drills and the team noticed later he was having issues and called 911 about 5 p.m.; he was pronounced dead at a hospital at 6:23 p.m., Shutt said.

Ridiculous to have outdoor drills in 99-degree heat, it seems to me.
