Annie Bothma - NCAA Violation??

Pre existing condition

Is a pre-existing condition your explanation why coastal doesn't cover the medication? Or why the ncaa allows her to financially benefit from her position as a student athlete?

It does seem weird that this is allowed.

Anyone have any insight into NCAA rules? Im too lazy to look this up myself

She mentioned receiving a "medical redshirt" this season; didn't she already receive a "medical redshirt" after COMPETING for Boise State?

How does the NCAA allow her to have this many years to compete?

Someone also mentioned she is a 22 year old sophomore.

If the injury that caused the first medical redshirt recurs, the athlete gets a second medical redshirt season.

So she needs to get hit by another car?

people asking for donations for medical bills through the internet weirds me out...

especially this one since it does seem to be against the ncaa rule about getting money from your sport. would she be getting the money if she wasn't an athlete? no. so seems to be against the rules.

truck, not car.

Would you rather they just die because they can't pay for treatment or go bankrupt when they can't pay their bills? Maybe if we had a system where proper medical coverage was a right instead of a privilege for the wealthy people wouldn't have to beg for money online.

Single payer now!

why isn't her school paying for it?

and why is the fundraising allowed under ncaa rules?

Bump.

Update?

it's the people asking for donations that weird you out and not the insane lack of healthcare we have in this country?

it's people asking for help for health care issues that weirds you out, not the billion dollar farce that is collegiate athletics?!?!?

blind status quo supporting sheep, .........you've drank all the Kool-aid AND then swallowed the Jar!

but....but.....but . The Rules!! I always follow the rules!........it's against the rules! yesh

Noticed she was absent from competition most of the year (XC, Indoor, Outdoor).

Maybe the NCAA finally caught up to her?

Start enforcing and prosecuting Big Heathcare Big Pharma and Heath Insurance rackets under anti-trust and RICO and costs will drop 80%.

This is against NCAA rules

Hasn't Ms. Botha also taken a regular redshirt year? Didn't she have to take a redshirt/sit-out year when she transferred from Boise to CCU?

This is the kind of thing that should be legal but isn't. That is, for anyone except an NCAA athlete this is perfectly legal and there's no taint to the sport by allowing it.

Don't her parents have her on a backup medical plan? Based on her social media she has a good support group in SA (I was curious so looked her up, not a stalker). I'm sure someone will say MYOB but when you start a Go Fund me account there are going to be questions.

Where is Jeff Jacobs?
