Is injury insurance too much?

This post addresses the issues of college athletes and injuries. Although this author is against paying college athletes, he believes that some type of injury insurance should be included within the scholarship. Football is a violent sport and there is a good chance you will get injured sometime during your career. Hopefully it is not career ending, but if it is then there should be some time of compensation for the athlete to receive. Marcus Lattimore would have been a first round draft pick no doubt, but after his second knee injury he most likely lost millions of dollars and a chance to play in the pros.

• College athletes are getting over 100,000 dollars of free education
• There is no reason for them to be paid, with their education they will be able to get a job after college
• Some type of injury insurance should be included in the scholarship
• This would protect many players who would be able to make a living off of playing their sport

Should benefits such as injury insurance be included in a collegiate athlete's scholarship? Even with all the things they get already?
