(Bloomberg) -- College sports’ governing body will consider limiting how much schools can contribute toward athletes’ insurance policies, according to its president.
National Collegiate Athletic Association schools pay for loss-of-value insurance policies for some of their athletes through the Student Assistance Fund. That allows a football or basketball player with the potential for a professional career to recoup money if an on-field injury cuts future earnings.
The NCAA doesn’t limit how much schools can put toward those bills, which is a factor talented athletes consider when deciding whether to turn professional. President Mark Emmert said that may change next month when the NCAA’s new legislative body, known as the Council, meets for the first time.
