[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 64806, member: 265"] Well, if everyone was responsible and ponied up for the consequences of their actions, we wouldn't even need laws, now would we? [I]But[/I] … they aren't and they don't. Tech, like every major athletic institution, is doing pretty well out of the athletes, if not in terms of money, then in terms of prestige and student recruitment. If they don't take it in hand to do something about injuries incurred in activities they sponsor and profit from then some kind of collective decision has to be made to insure that they do. This is like child labor; I bet Tech would be glad to extend insurance coverage, just like most Div 1 schools would. We're not talking about ogres here. [I]But[/I] … until everyone does it, you are ceding a competitive advantage to those who decide to not provide it. So nobody gets off the dime. I'm not sure how "socialism" and "freedom" got into a discussion about basic business responsibilities. Because that's what this is. [/QUOTE]
