I'd like to ask some questions about college atheletics - especially at the higher levels - using as a discussion starter. It really gets me thinking about some things. Grant me that the winner of this fight is probably young and without much in the way of income or assets which could satisfy any potential liability. If he gets sued he's got nothing - bk and move on.
1) When atheletes in the money making programs get their face broken in the bar fight does this usually get repaired at the expense of the sports program? If so how are these expenditures recorded? Just tuck in inside of the training budget, or what?
2) Are sports program donors directed to provide support such as this by program managers (coaches, etc.)? Do they call up one of the benefactors and request that barfight-reconstructive surgery gets covered? This article makes me suspicious that this happens for some reason.
3) If number two does happen are there reporting requirements? (of course not, anon, it's just a private citizen picking up the medical bills of a person in need...)
4) Do sports institutions have programs in place to manage this conflict of interest where program staff is soliciting donations, ostensibly for the benefit of the program, but which are not part of that individual's budget and such expenditure is not managed through the normal program management channels. I'm not an accountant or lawyer - but this starts to feel filthy.
5) When the player gets fucked up in the bar fight does the sports program maintain any kind of incident reporting? Imagine your superstar player, upon which a large portion of current program revenue depends, loses a finger after sucker-punching a dude with a knife. Is this kind of incident recorded by the sports program?
6) Is this kind of incident considered a risk to the sports program? Is there a risk management strategy in place to control this? Does the sportsball program carry key-man insurance policies on some of these players? What do those premiums look like and how much do they depend on the expectation of anti-social behavior on the part of the player?
I could go on, but I'd like to understand how this shit works. I suspect that the level of corruption around college sports is every bit as bad as any poal denizen with feverish imagination could imagine.
