[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1235396, member: 7292"] It is pretty customary for ex-players, especially stars, to come back to the University for an occasional visit or even have a workout with players. They do have to get permission, but the University grants them. It is a marketing tool for players/recruits as well. They do get permission, but it is not that hundreds of ex-players come back regularly every week. Players move on with their lives, so other than the occasional come back visit, it does not happen very often and does not interfere with the University programs. But all players and ex-athletes need permission and I am pretty sure Rice was granted permission as well. Now "medical" treatment? No University will provide actual medical treatment without proper insurance to any athlete, including former and current players, faculty, etc. It is a huge liability and will not do so. So I am pretty sure Rice has medical insurance and his injury was diagnosed by a medical professional under an insurance plan. But once that happened, he obviously got permission from the University to come back and use the facilities, interact with staff, and participate in workouts. But there is no "rule" or implicit use of facilities without permission. [/QUOTE]
