Parents of Bucknell football player who died say they appreciate criminal charges against coach

Calvin Dickey Jr., a Bucknell University football player with sickle-cell trait, died during 2024 training camp after intense exercises led by coach Mark Kulbis. Parents expressed appreciation for criminal charges against Kulbis, who faces felony and misdemeanor counts. The NCAA requires screening for sickle-cell trait in athletes, but Dickey's condition was only discovered via mandatory testing before camp.
