Gay Culverhouse (February 5, 1947 – July 1, 2020) was president of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 1991 to 1994 while her father, Hugh Culverhouse, owned the team. Inspired by Tom McHale, a former Buccaneers player who suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, Culverhouse founded the Gay Culverhouse Players Outreach Program, which helps retired NFL players access earned benefits from the National Football League.[1] Culverhouse is the author of Throwaway Players: The Concussion Crisis from Pee Wee Football to the NFL.
In 1996, she served a brief term as president of Notre Dame College in South Euclid, Ohio. She died on July 1, 2020, at age 73 of complications of myelofibrosis.[2]
