Oregon and its boosters will need to steer clear of what could be a NCAA violation waiting to happen. As a former scholarship athlete, I am aware that any medical expenses and care related to my training and competition were covered by the university. Other medical expenses not related to athletics needed to be processed through my family's group medical insurance. If, as has been posted above, treatment was obtained for Prince outside of UT authorization and her established network, then Prince's family risked being in a financial quandary if UT's policies don't provide for 100% coverage without a deductible when athletes decide to seek medical care that has not been pre-authorized. Most medical coverage typically has some limitations related to network and pre-authorization requirement. Medical insurance for collegiate athletes is typically strong coverage if your athlete complies with established procedures. If you don't, out-of-pocket expenses are a reasonable consequence. [/QUOTE]
