[QUOTE="70Jacket, post: 64399, member: 1441"] Thanks for the link. I'm sure this particular question has been hashed over in the past. It appears, on the surface, that AA's are secondary coverage and only engage after parental coverage is exhausted; out standing medical balances would then be a parental or player obligation unless the AA steps in to cover the shortfall, players from families with no medical insurance are covered in whole by AA policy, hopefully. The LOI I don't believe is a waiver (play at your own risk) but is a release of obligation on the part of the AA in the event of medical obligations that extend beyond a players eligibility, if said player can't get coverage for pre existing conditions as a result of participation said player is basically screwed. Let's say a regular student gets injured in a chem lab accident and suffers a life long handicap as a result, is the regular student subject to the same coverage as the SA that gets injured durning athletic participation? I don't believe it's the same coverage and the regular student has rights to sue for damages and support. I don't know if you have knowledge in this area but you tend to be one of the more imtelectual posters on this forum. I do know if you were injured in the line of duty the VA is an lifetime available option for assistance. Minus lethal weapons college football is a very hazardous activity and life long injuries do result. I guess what I'm really asking the forum is; should a portion of the billions of dollars produced annually for networks, corporations, sponsors, and conferences by these athletes be reserved to support athletes that suffer injuries with life long implications.
