When you think about it college football should be insuring players careers for them in case of big time injuries.
Say for example some big time QB destined to go to the NFL, but gets injured so bad he never gets a shot..That's potential millions of dollars tossed down the drain, but there's plenty of other examples every year.
The argument can be made that they go to college for a good education, but we all know that with star athletes they're all too often there to make money for the college and nobody else and if they get hurt, well tough luck. Once they're off the team they're on their own, but try even studying with some kind of serious spinal injury. Chances are that player will be too doped up on pain medication to study if they were even a decent student to begin with. If not and the only future they ever had was the NFL they should at minimum be able to collect on insurance to carry them through for at least a few years if not further.
Oh well..I never played college sports and sure as hell was never going to be a professional athlete.
