Message: [QUOTE="MSSportsGuy, post: 3851335, member: 6485"] I realize USA basketball doesn't have the revenue that a university like Texas has but to think they had to use an emergency fund is baffling to me given she should have been insured by the organization while she was representing them. It sounds though Texas' basketball and medical staff made some clear mistakes while caring for her. It's tough not to have sympathy for someone who falls into this situation. I keep wondering why she was so desperate for a waiver since it sounds as though she still had some healing and recovery both physically and emotionally. I've been on the dark side of medical bills before for some rather unusual health problems that insurers seem unconcerned about paying. I was fortunate to have some money saved but also short term disability coverage and understanding medical care providers. The young lady was caught in a bad situation all around. I hope she is able to stay healthy and play to her potential. Graves seems to have taken some unhappy players from other programs and bring their joy back to the game. It makes me wonder what he is doing but it's also no surprise so many players have Oregon on their list. [/QUOTE]
