Honest question

[Jimmy McGill]

Who pays the bills for injured players that transfer. The previous school or the new one?

Thanks in advance

 

[Birky]

As in, who will pay for Gronowski’s surgery?

The school they are at where they have the surgery.

The school they are at where they have the surgery.

So I’m assuming the University obviously has insurance? Correct?

Usually the school where the injury occurred cover medical for a year or two.

student-athletes must use personal health insurance first, which can be obtained through their parents' insurance.


From a quick Google search:

College football players must have their own health insurance to participate in intercollegiate sports:

• NCAA requirements
  The NCAA requires all student-athletes to have personal health insurance that covers athletic injuries:
  
  
  • The insurance must cover up to $90,000 in expenses
  • The NCAA's Catastrophic Insurance Program steps in once the $90,000 limit is reached
  • The student-athlete's private insurance covers them until the $90,000 limit is reached
  • The student-athlete and their family are responsible for out-of-pocket expenses until the $90,000 limit is reached
• Insurance options
  Student-athletes can obtain insurance through:
  
  
  • Their parent or guardian's insurance
  • A private insurance provider
  • The member institution's intercollegiate athletics injury policy
  • The member institution's self-insurance program
• Most institutions require insurance
  Most institutions require student-athletes to have their own primary medical insurance
• Most institutions purchase secondary insurance
  Most institutions purchase a secondary insurance policy to pay bills that are not covered by the student-athlete's primary insurance

That is what I remember from previous discussions. I don't remember if institutions pick up co-pays/deductibles.
