Very likely a game of telephone like Emma said and the real reason just got lost in translation. However, that doesn't excuse the fact that this "game" should not be played. Besides costing 25K or whatever UWO is paying, it provides legitimacy to a business, and it is a business, not a school, that shouldn't be getting it. It puts players at risk on both sides, though at least in UWO's case they will have insurance, training staff, and procedures to handle injuries. For University of Faith players, an injury could be a much bigger problem. Again, just another reason this should not be happening and no NCAA team should be playing these businesses.

Overall, this is a very good point. However, it should not be assumed all of an NCAA student-athlete's healthcare needed to diagnose and treat an injury is covered either by the NCAA or by their institution. That is not necessarily the case. The student athlete receives "first dollar" coverage only during championship events ( for football, playoffs and Stagg Bowl).  For all other events, the NCAA provides a catastrophic policy that covers every dollar after a $90,000 deductible.  Each member institution must provide verification that each student-athlete has coverage of at least $90,000 under an accidental That policy allows but does not require an institution to provide that policy. In addition, there are other variables such as co-pays and deductibles that could vary by policy.  There is some pretty bad insurance out there and, as in every part of life, medical costs can play a factor in determining the course of treatment.

Not saying you are assuming anything jknezek. Just posting this for general information.

Thanks. +K. I didn't know the specifics but I knew that insurance to a certain amount was required by the NCAA and that an umbrella was provided over that. Plus the DIII schools all have in house training facilities as far as I know. So that helps with rehab and management. I'm not willing to bet University of Faith has any of this. As I'm sure you know Bleed, my point wasn't to say the NCAA is right in how they manage injuries, simply that I have more faith in how an injured DIII athlete will be treated than one who is paying this University of Faith business.

Absolutely! And I didn't mean to take away from that point because it is spot on!

A few Falcon recruiting tidbits:  14 commits from Las Vegas, Nevada, high schools, including Bishop Gorman, a big time program which plays teams in Florida, California, and has players going to D1 schools.

Jackson Struemke, 6/5", 255, from Somerset. Had been recruited by Illinois State.

Approx. 160 total commits.

Will they be any good? The new facility, opening totally in Sept., has been a big attraction. RF will go from last to first in basketball venues in the WIAC.

Now try and explain all of this when you are sober.

160 total commits is considerably larger than last year's entire roster.  Are you sure about that number Fred?  Congrats on the new facilities.

[fredfalcon]

Commits is the wrong word. 160 players will be on the field at the opening of practice, including the 14 from Vegas.

Interesting. Do you go w big program experience or D3 knowledge and the zeal that likely comes with moving into such a successful D3 program?

[emma17]

Of course I'll be most happy w the AD that is willing to insist that the offense huddle more often, use motion and shifting, and yes, throw slants and outs.

Yes, a micro-manager is just what we are looking for! How about underhand free-throws? The 4,3,2- 9 step approach for the pole vault? Perhaps  an AD who can develop a mandatory situational bunting chart and insist it be adhered to? Lots of meetings without purpose would be good, too! Why are you not on the committee, darn it!

I think I was a shoe in for the committee until I said something about holding back on water breaks until the effort and execution improved.

Careful 02. Even joking about making an LK joke could get you in trouble.

Looking through those resumes, there are a couple who haven't been at any one place more than a couple of years, then moving on.  Would sure like to hire someone who will be at UWW for a long time.
