Insurance for Turang?

Position players are not at a particularly high risk for injury. Really the only thing that could affect his future draft status is if he suddenly forgets how to hit and field the ball should he choose the college route.

Doesn't make much sense in his case. If he was 21st out of high school, barring a complete lack of improvement over 2+ years, his stock will only go up. Could end up 1-2 by the time he comes out. If he comes to LSU that is.

ETA: Also, those policies are intended for injury related type things. As another poster said, it's unlikely for a position player to have an injury that would hurt his draft stock.

Is it against NCAA rules for an LSU booster(s) to say, if you don't get drafted with a slot value equal to or greater than the one coming out of high school when you leave LSU, we will pay you the difference? Basically, are retroactive payments to former players against NCAA rules?

Actually it is now allowed for the college to pay for the policy

I imagine you can write a policy for anything that you want, and I’m not saying that he would want coverage for only dropping a few spots. I imagine that would cost a fortune. Maybe these policies don’t exist like I thought they did, or maybe they are prohibitively expensive. All I’m saying is that there is no way I would walk away from $3M guaranteed unless I knew I could put some sort of floor on my losses. That is life-changing money if he’s not an idiot with it.

Without doing any research, hell yes. At one point it was against the rules for a coach to spot you 50 cents for a coke during a campus tour, even if all you had was a $5 bill and planned to pay him back at the end.

NCAA = No Clue About Athletics

that's not insurance man. so if the kid doesn't make a pro, the insurance company eats it?

If the kid doesn’t get drafted, the insurance company would owe him minus the premium. I’m almost certain you could write a policy that works like that. There are financial instruments that work that way already.

Hey if he's that confident in his ability GO Freakn Tigers. Lots of kids go to college and turn down that type of money. Florida gets them all the time. They also have a track record proving that it's a benefit to them. I assure you that Bregman, Nola, and Lange don't regret coming to LSU.

LSU is a premium school that will put you in a spotlight. I would come if I knew I could get more later. Especially if I didn't need the money at the moment. To experience the college life while being a star for a team who regularly is seen at the CWS is something you'll never get back.

If I'm confident in my ability, I would pass that money up to come to college. Now when you get over 5 mill to 10 mill then I would probably just pay someone to take me to campus for a weekend to experience it as a millionaire LMAO.
