Recruits:

Despite promises that many of you hear from coaches, schools do not have to pay for any of your sports-related medical expenses – it’s optional.  The NCPA is fighting to change this.

In the meantime, the NCPA has asked all Division I schools to disclose key medical policies that can affect you as a college athlete. You should know what an athletic program’s medical policies are before you decide which school to play for.

The NCPA rated each athletic program’s medical policies A+ through F.  Any school that refused to disclose their medical policies automatically received an “F” grade.
