Heupel sucks when it comes to reporting injury status, but I thought this would be considered a HIPPA violation?


The SEC is moving toward a mandatory injury report for this coming football season, sources told CBS Sports. The topic was discussed at the conference's annual spring meetings in May with SEC commissioner Greg Sankey telling reporters that while it would be discussed, a final decision would not be made that week.

A mandatory injury report hasn't been officially approved, but multiple sources indicated the details are close to being finalized and are expected to be in place at the start of the 2024 season. A decision could come as early as next week when league athletic directors are scheduled to meet.

I’m sure part of the mountain of paperwork everybody signs when they accept a scholarship and go to college will be a HIPAA release.

No it does not. If I were a player and they outed my injury I would get me a HIPPA lawyer. That information could impact my future earnings as a professional player. We in the general public have that protection, why not athletes?

Professional sports organizations are exempt from HIPPA laws whenever it comes to disclosing injury reports. What do you think college sports has become? Players are now going to be paid revenue sharing on top of NIL. College sports are professional sports now. Whether people choose to believe that are on them. You getting a lawyer and taking it to court would be a waste of yours, your lawyer’s, and everyone else’s resources and time. Whenever you choose to play sports at higher levels you know exactly what you are signing up for. Either comply or don’t play…

It's HIPAA and the proposed two report categories for injured players: questionable or out doesn't violate HIPAA.

Protect information
  • Information your doctors, nurses, and other health care providers put in your medical record
  • Conversations your doctor has about your care or treatment with nurses and others
  • Information about you in your health insurer’s computer system
  • Billing information about you at your clinic
  • Most other health information about you held by those who must follow these laws

Money talks. Gambling brings in wayyy too much money for these organizations to start biting the hand that feeds them. Comply or don’t participate.

Gambling has cost the NFL a lot of money because no one with a brain trusts the integrity of the officiating. Get out or do without.

I don’t bet on college football and I’m a weirdo in that I like not knowing who’s gonna play until I hear the starting lineups at the stadium and to a lesser degree on TV. So I don’t care about an injury report. Plus, unless you penalize the coaching staffs, they’re just gonna put questionable on everybody with bruise. Or that’s what I’d do

I don’t bet on college football - I’m so emotionally invested I’d hate to also lose money!

I don’t see a problem with current practices - it gives coaches a chance to talk for a few minutes without having to say anything. It’s just part of the game.

The NFL gets at least $2B in sports gambling revenue. They sure are losing a lot of money 🤣

You can the rest of the Swifties can have it. Viewership was down until Taylor swift became a regular feature.

The 4 most watched games since 2000 all happened this past season and only 1 of those featured the Chiefs. The NFL could lose half of its viewers and still have more viewers than the other American sports leagues.
