Doesn’t Allstate donate money to scholarships when they raise the field goal backstop? Since, most of these players are already getting a full ride why don’t they give them injury insurance instead?

Like Katrina victims...lol.. That's why the backstops are there. Cheaper than paying claims

Any player that comes back gets this. Some players going into their junior year gets these. From my understanding it is really tough to collect from the insurance companies because you have to prove future income and that’s not always the easiest thing to do.

There are specialty insurance companies that provide that type of insurance and Allstate isn’t one of them. They’d need to set up an entirely different underwriting and actuarial models. If I understand the Allstate offer, it’s to give money to the General Scholarship Fund at the respective University.
