The judge has accepted the advisory committee’s wishes and adopted their recommendations in regards to divvying up the 15.2 million dollars raised in a GoFundMe campaign after 16 team members were killed and 13 players were injured in a highway crash this past April. The committee recommended a total payout of 525-thousand dollars for each family who lost a loved one and a total of 475-thousand dollars for each survivor. That amount includes the $50-thousand already paid out to those affected. Court documents say most of the 29 families wanted the GoFundMe money to be divided in equal amounts, but the committee said that isn’t necessarily fair and reasonable.
