College Players Injuries Question

[boisesuns]

After seeing many players get hurt this year, I thought of something. I know the trainers take care of small injuries and everything, but what if someone tears an ACL or needs some more expensive treatment? Does the school pay for it, if it happens in practice or a game? I know a lot of school have a hospital on campus for the medical program, would they just go there?

Just something i've been wondering.

Yup. School picks up the tab. One of the perqs for going to U of Miami is that Dr. John Uribe is the team surgeon. He is the guy all the pros use.

So he took the task of Maghee's nasty injury a few years ago?
