NCPA Victories for College Athletes
Over the years, the NCPA has successfully pressured the NCAA into making the following reforms:
- Elimination of limits on health care for college athletes
- Increase in the NCAA death benefit from $10,000 to $25,000
- Expansion of the NCAA Catastrophic Injury Insurance Policy so that college athletes who suffer permanent, debilitating injuries can receive adequate home health care
- Implementation of key safety guidelines to help prevent deaths during workouts
- Increase in the type of scholarship money players can receive
- Elimination of the $2000 salary cap on money earned from part-time jobs
It has become evident that, as the NCPA succeeds, college athletes gain necessary protections.
