Jim Boeheim settles with family of man he fatally struck.
The family of Jorge Jimenez, who died in a car accident involving former Syracuse University basketball coach Jim Boeheim in 2019, has agreed to settle a lawsuit against Boeheim and the university. The terms of the settlement remain sealed, and both parties have requested confidentiality. Jimenez's family had filed a lawsuit alleging that Boeheim's actions were "negligent, reckless and wanton." Boeheim was driving home after a game when he swerved to avoid a car that had skidded on an icy highway and hit Jimenez, who was a passenger in the car. No charges were filed against Boeheim, and the court's approval of the settlement is not yet clear.
