re: How many players have ended career's with bowl game injuries?

Didn’t players use to purchase an insurance Policy related to an injury in playing a bowl game or is that not allowed anymore? Seems a reasonable option if $$$ is the issue.

Some still do.

The school, or more specifically- TAF, either/or, should be allowed to purchase that insurance on their behalf. Some players can't afford such, and if an agent fronts the money for the policy they can't play anyway because they are ineligible for taking money/services from an agent.

And the calculations in most of those policies for payout/value are all based on projections and don't really pay very well. The school should, and should be allowed to, purchase the expensive policies with value lost ++ (i.e. a guaranteed lump sum + value lost on top of it).

This isn't workable for your high draft picks; the risk still isn't worth it. But for your mid-tier guys to the UDFA ones- it is well worth it. Still no guarantee, but is worth considering.
