Lighten up Francis. It's a joke.

For the record I drove a Mitsubishi Mirage. A very fine vehicle.

Illini v UConn at MSG tickets

I tried the inter webs and couldn’t clearly find when tickets are going on sale (or did they already)? There are a very few number of tix on secondary sites but seems like there should be more.

Anyone who went to the Illinois Duke game this year at MSG do you recall what average resale prices were? Would like to plan a trip there but $350 per person for upper section maybe not in our budget.

Thanks in advance!!

This is nothing orginal, but thee is no way Illiinois should have been able to come back from that many points in that small amount of time

Woud love to be able to hear from other diehards how it happened
God wore Orange and Blue that night. I saw it live. I rewatched it. I still can't believe or understand how it happened.

They're only HIPAA-covered if they're employed by HIPAA entities. Trainers employed by the school can share any info they gain by treating you with the coach.

The gray area would be the info they can provide that they receive from outside entities, like a surgeon, however every NCAA school would have a waiver of some kind an athlete would sign to participate that would enable the sharing of medical info.
Can you let me know who is giving you this advice? Because I want to make sure I never work with that individual or firm.

I oversee finance and HR for my company, and I can assure you that our attorneys have made it very clear that we follow HIPAA guidelines unless we are ready to deal with a pretty substantial lawsuit.

They forced turnovers and hit shots. I saw it.

So True. Arizona thought they had put us away. Refs tend to give a team down by double digits just a bit more wiggle room with physicality which I think mattered. These guys never gave up and we had 3 ultra-competitive guards that didn't know how to quit. They absolutely caught fire in those last few minutes and took advantage of every break. Incredible moment in Illini sports.

Thank you for supporting my point. I had the same environment before retiring.

I don't want to ask what business space you work for if that's too revealing, but just being a private company means you probably don't have your workers sign waivers that give up their right to privacy with regards to health information.

My "advice" is just using publicly available info on Google. Here's an article for example with the relevant quote-

"Sports teams are nevertheless aware of the risks from HIPAA. The answer for some organizations is to acquire a waiver of disclosure from players. In the National Football League, this release of medical information is part of a collective bargaining agreement with the Players’ Union.[18] At the college level, a disclosure waiver may be part of athletic paperwork or required access to team facilities."

Here is an example waiver from University of Georgia-


"This protected health information may be released to other health care providers, parents/guardians, hospitals and/or medical clinics and laboratories, athletic coaches, strength and conditioning coaches, medical insurance coordinators, insurance carriers, medical supply vendors and/or service companies, academic counselors, athletic and/or university administrators, chaplains and/or clergy members, NCAA Injury Surveillance System, sports information staff and members of the media."

May be released is the important part. The coaches have no reason to give a timeline and then have fans and media mad when that timeline doesn't happen

Of course, which goes all the way back to one of my original points of why the article was badly written, Underwood has a history of concealing injury news so him not saying anything is not indicative of the seriousness of Andrej's injury. This whole conversation stemmed from others believing HIPAA keeps him from giving us injury news, when it's his personal decision.

NIL budget just got a bit larger for next year.

Interesting.

The NFL is pretty straightforward. It's along with the injury report where they have to be pretty transparent to avoid insider gambling issues. There's been concerns about this in college as well because of the legalization of gambling in so many places and in reality across the country. So I could imagine that it might come this way.

But coaches are going to hide as much information about injuries as possible until such time as they are forced to reveal it.

HIPAA debate??

You guys know the football team is Top 10 now right?
Amen. And whether HIPAA related or not, Brad and the program have chosen not to get specific about injuries and timelines. I get fans want info and I don’t know much about HIPAA, but I’m pretty certain it doesn’t say sports entities are required to release details on injuries and timelines for return of its players. We’re not entitled to the information.
