The NCAA has approved a new rule mandating that all prospective Division I athletes undergo screening for sickle cell anemia, the Orlando Sentinel reported. Athletes must either submit to the testing, prove they have already been tested, or sign a written release to opt out of the screening. The new rule stems from the recent deaths of athletes that have the disease, which typically produces no symptoms but can lead to organ failure in extreme cases. The most recent case of sudden death occurred in 2008, when University of Central Florida freshman Ereck Plancher collapsed and died following a football workout. The school is currently facing a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Plancher's parents. Big East and Pac-10 conference leaders have protested this ruling, citing that it will cost schools five to 30 dollars an athlete, the Sentinel reports.
