SU offered to continue Steven's scholarship, though it would not count against the NCAA football limit.  It is likely that a court would rule changing schools was a preference by Steven and not compensable.  Education is what SU offered.  Football was what Steven offered in exchange.

As to the cause of the initial injury, assuming Bcubs facts (there is nothing contrary in public to this point), the SU medical and/or training staff issued a knee brace that was too small for Steven.  This brace caused a blood clot.  If a future blood clot, or other injury, can be directly related to the small brace, then Steven could have a cause of action.

Ex. 1: Steven has/had a reaction to anti-clotting medication, this could be causally related.

Ex. 2: Steven gets a blood clot from travelling on planes.  This likely to not be causally related.

This is an oversimplification of law and is not legal advice.  Obviously, each jurisdiction is different and a specific set of facts can only be legally analyzed by an attorney in the specific jurisdiction in which an incident occurs.
