Yes. A likely pre-existing condition.  Although, it would be nice if the NCAA actively protected their players from health risk, the same as they protect them from getting an unsanctioned free meal...

This June, a Maryland player died.

Those are the first 2 that come to mind, but there are more. It's not just ambient temperature, it's exertional heat stroke.

It seems easy enough to give each newcomer a Stress test, to see how much they are capable of, before they become a risk.   Or maybe take a quick temperature on a water break, to make sure no one is at risk.

Seems easy enough.  What am I missing?
