Do the rules vary by school or is it consistent across the NCAA? After disqualification what are the responsibilities of the university to rehab an athlete and/or continue funding their education? Any insight is appreciated. Thanks.

Was the athlete injured during a sanctioned NCAA event, practice, weights session, CARA activity? Seems trivial... but the number of SAs who are initially injured, say.... snow skiing... and then attempt to train is likely higher than one would imagine. An athlete receives a concussion skim boarding while visiting her bf during spring break may not receive the same warm welcome from their medical staff that the same athlete would had they gotten the concussion in practice/match.

Yes didnt think about that but it was a sanctioned event (tournament) and there is no doubt to the severity of the injury. All of those items are clear cut.

Seems to me that the school would be called on to assist the SA in their recovery/rehab... the Medical Disqual just means that they are no longer a counter (assuming this is a D1 institution.) The institution would likely have an obligation to the SA who was hurt while at work.. if you will.

Is it a P5 school?
The University has an obligation for medical treatment for that athlete from surgery to rehab and follow up rehab after retirement as long as the SA is still enrolled. If it is an injury that will have life altering effects then the University has insurance in place to cover those situations and care for the SA.
Continuous funding for education may be based on the University, sport played, and potentially conference affiliation. The reason I say this is most P5 schools now offer scholarships on a 4 year basis and not year to year for athletes that play sports where scholarships are whole (fball, bball, vball, etc.) and not divided (soccer, baseball, etc.) and most P5 schools have a fund that medical retired players will roll over to that funding and the athletic scholarship will not be lost and be available for a new athlete so the school may replace a recruited SA with another recruited SA to remain competitive (this happens in football quite a bit at some of the top programs).

It is D1 but not a P5. Possible rehab (11-13 months) will take beyond graduation so it sounds like there is flexibility by each school.

Sounds like this is either your daughter or other close relationship. The rule for medical disqualification is a NCAA rule because it just involves whether the athlete continues to be a counter in the sport. The proof comes from the medical people treating the athlete which is reviewed by the NCAA for sufficiency.
I believe most major programs continue to provide a scholarship for the athlete until graduation (or they leave school for other reasons). Don't know if this is a requirement however. I suspect most or all schools do this however due to liability if no other reason. The athlete's school should be the one that you consult for this information, not a message board.

I think the whole picture is important... I see that in a previous post you asked about transferring to another institution following an early graduation (with a yr left of eligibility)... I could very well see a school balking on doing much more than is required if a SA has told the school previously that they were leaving to attend and compete at another institution within months of said injury. If the SA told the school that they were leaving... in May... and the school moved ahead with plans to replace that SA... and THEN the SA was injured weeks before their scheduled departure... Things could get iffy... No good for anyone involved.

Just getting all points of view, not using this as any legal or binding advice. Lots of experience on the board but have to take it with a grain of salt. There is no transferring bc the injury is so serious, by definition the medical DQ prohibits any further participation. Thanks for everyones take.

My friend's daughter was not able to play after sophomore season due to medical condition. The school paid for all medical expenses and 3 additional year scholarship.
