"The NCAA [National Collegiate Athletic Association] has been offering insurance to elite athletes for 15 years, but it was a little-used program until January 2003, when University of Miami football player Willis McGahee suffered a horrific knee injury in the national title game. After seeing such a bright future apparently felled with one blow (though McGahee eventually recovered and plays for the Buffalo Bills), interest in the NCAA insurance program spiked." (INDIANAPOLIS STAR) This article examines "a burgeoning frontier in big-time amateur sports: insurance."
