B1G asks NCAA for weekly injury report

Figured something like that was coming along with gambling, but there is a structural problem. If a pro football team games their injury report, the commissioner is able to punish the coach and owner with fines. How will the NCAA enforce this? Will they sic powerful Mark Emmert and his staff of cronies to punish the offenders? I doubt that. They routinely ignore fake classes and academic cheating.
I'd imagine Joe's reports would have been legendary as the man himself.
its a good point...and that crossed my mind as well. The pro leagues have collective bargaining agreements where they agree to violation of HIPPA. Maybe as simple as adding a clause to the college scholarship agreements...on the other hand, without having a true CBA, leaves them open to further law suits.
Which is exactly why they probably will get involved.
It will be interesting to see. Franklin and Belichick are very simliar
in their injury reports.
No expert but HIPPA applies to "covered entities" and the NFL is not considered such.
It's not really a HIPAA issue. No one on a college coaching staff is bound by HIPAA.
But the NFL CBA allows for release of medical info. A college player may not want that info released.
You'll probably end up seeing something like what OB did when he was here. He published an injury report in the game notes.
What business is this for the B1G or even the NCAA? Sad when they are concerned about gambling more than academic issues.
Ohio state and Michigan have to be told weekly about their opponents injuries. Have to help them somehow
