I played baseball in college. I never had any severe/career ending injuries ... I just wasn't good enough to get to the next level. I did see, first hand, great athlete-students (student-athlete implies that they were academically inclined which was not quite the case) who had major elbow/shoulder/knee/ankle injuries--injuries typicall to baseball players. The school I played for had a lack luster student health program and, like the article stated.
Rarely, if ever, does college baseball draw crowds like football and basketball. But my contention is this: mega NCAA schools are able to financially exploit the ability, gift, skill, and talent of amature athletes, therefore the schools have a fiduciary responsibility to care for those athletes who were injured and not only that, but make them "whole" in every legal sense of the word.
Big name schools like OSU, OU, USC, etc make millions and have made millions on the backs of scholarship athletes just from tickets sales; not to mention concessions, TV royalties, advertisements, endorsements, etc. Time is overdue for colleges and universities to act responsibile--bastion of learning, my big toe, more like bastion of exploitation. And it's time society stops giving these "corporations" a free pass.

You don't seem to understand that what is too expensive for the government, in your view, is increasingly too expensive for private citizens and businesses in our current "system".
Your "leave-it-alone" scenario simply means more personal bankruptcies, more dropped group plans, more clogged emergency rooms, more Medicaid/Schip welfare, and more people who forego basic care because they're not rich. Baloney! Give me the problems of Canada and the UK any day.
Besides, this article is about financing the care for sports injuries. I have a solution for this growing problem. You don't.
I have another idea, too. Drop the health care subsidy of all employees in the public sector and you'll have single-payer adopted in a fortnight. All but the richest few who work in the private sector already know they're in deep trouble on this. The business owners know it and the employees know it. Why don't you?

a gov't takeover of the US healthcare syastem will be a disaster for all Americans. As soon as the costs start to spiral out of control (and they will), some bureaucrat will decide that your coverage is too expensive and like Canada and the UK, normal treatments(at least those normal in the US today will become too expensive).
Brain tumors in Canada, please be a good citizen and wait 6 month for youer appointment (hopefully you will be dead by then), and in the UK, sonagrams are too expensive for pregnant women.

Are we finally waking up enough to realize that the "farm clubs" we operate for the pro leagues in our grade schools, high schools and colleges are EXPENSIVE with respect to potential injuries? And that many of the smaller institutions now have to individually dodge the costs---dumping them on the participants' parents?
Tell you what, sports lovers. You give us, the progressives, something akin to universal single-payer health care, and we'll give you coverage built right into that for all the sports injuries too. Deal?
