Student-athletes have medical coverage during their time on campus. Insurance policies are usually only taken out by those with strong professional potential (Clowney, Manziel, etc). Your backup OL isn't going to be helped when they need multiple shoulder/knee surgeries 5 or 10 years after they leave college. There is no rule which forces a school to honor the scholarship of an athlete who gets injured.

This entire process is about getting athletes a voice- right now they have none. Schools control their lives -as the report yesterday showed 35-50 hours per week for athletic obligations is normal. The 20 hour rule is a joke and everyone knows that- it's just another thing to make the NCAA look like they care. Restrictions on housing/cars/class schedules exist.

This article does a very good job breaking this down without the "gloom and doom, college football is ruined"- [url]http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/college-football/news/20140327/ncaa-athletes-union-ruling-northwestern/[/url]
