I'm guessing most of you have seen/heard (too graphic?) as to what had happened to the SC running back. Hope he comes back strong!!!
To my point, when Manti announced that he was coming back for his senior year, I was super stoked. But also thought that he was risking a lot. Coming in to the season, I just really wanted the team to be competitive in each game. And the other one is for Te'o/Eifert (or anyone else in the team in general) to not get injured so bad that they plummet on the NFL draft.
My question is, does anyone know if student athletes can insure their health in case of an injury causing them millions of dollars on the upcoming draft. I ask since I heard that Beckham/Ronaldo/celebrities have insurance in case of such things. If yes, does Te'o/Eifert or even Lattimore have one?
I was also watching E:60, and they had that segment on High School Football players that were injured. And how the schools didn't have proper insurance ('catastrophic injury insurance') and what not. Anyone else watched it? I thought it was really moving.
And does anyone know where ND/other university stands on this? I can see why a high school wouldn't have the money, but for any University who makes a ton of money from football is unacceptable.
GO IRISH!!!
