I know it always sounds sketchy to mention, but I have a friend who works in the AAC and apparently PSU was having a hard time getting tests back. Was taking them close to 2 weeks, making the tests practically worthless.

Have to think that kind of stuff was factoring into the decisions being made.

I don’t think that it was an issue of insurance costs. It was an issue of uncovered liability because I’m 1000% sure that their liability carrier was consulted on coverage and the school was told that no way under the sun was that kind of liability covered at any price.

I was in a fraternity that had to do a liability policy at the national level with two other fraternities on Lloyd’s of London paper because some idiots somewhere in chapters all killed a kid around the same time. Lloyd’s only considered us for the policy if we implemented very strict risk management policies and banned bulk alcohol in the chapter house. And even then, the price that we had to pay was astronomical.

I don’t think Lloyd’s would fuck this chick with Harbaugh’s dick. And they’d fuck anyone.

Yes and no. And yes, I’m sure for a price, paper could be written for this, but realistically... it’s debatable. The actuaries have zero to go on and pricing would reflect the wide confidence bands protecting the underwriter. For a price anything is possible, and if there are programs that could make it happen, tOSU is one... but the rest of the conference? Hell, Purdue doesn’t even have decent on site medical facilities...

So, I’ll go with you that it’s about insurance in that they’re not covered and have the potential for significant liability that is not hedged.

If this is true, how much fucking sense does it make?



As the comments say

Wow. What idiots. They can practice but not play. How does that begin to make sense? All schools were under the same protocol. BigTen is an embarrassing entity.

So they will go to class, work out, go to training room, go to practice, eat at training table, study at student center....But won’t play games... all in the name of student athlete “safety”?
