About 19% of college athletic trainers reported in a recent survey that a coach played an athlete who had been deemed "medically out of participation," according to results released Tuesday by the National Athletic Trainers' Association that reveal concerns about college coaches having too much influence in medical decision-making.
According to the survey, about 36% of respondents reported that a coach has been able to influence the hiring and firing of sports medicine staff. And of athletic trainers who reported that happening, 58% then reported being pressured by a coach or administrator to make a decision "not in the best interest of a student-athlete's health."
The NCAA should put out that these medical staffs should be independent of the athletic department. It is completely counter intuitive for them to report to guys who's jobs are on the line if a particular sport fails.

It's ok because at least the players are being paid for their performance.

After being with Fi for the last few years, Id have a hard time going back to any sort of contract based plan.

Fi is actually a terrible deal per GB compared to almost any other plan but if you dont use much data it is comparable.
Also almost no plans have contracts anymore.

I mean I know family plans can be cheaper than fi, but if that's not something you need, there's no reason to use anything else. There customer service is also GOAT... And it's not close.
