A Bucknell University football strength coach, Mark Kulbis, is charged with felony aggravated hazing and involuntary manslaughter after a freshman recruit, Calvin Dickey Jr., died in 2024 from stress-induced sickle cell disease following a punitive workout. The Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office alleges Kulbis disregarded training on handling athletes with sickle cell trait and ignored warnings about Dickey’s condition, leading to his death.
