So, when the news reported that Allen hurt his knee in a football game, it was against the law? Have you ever heard of a named player be declared "academically ineligible?" Do those reporting parties get sued? Don't be ridiculous. Oregon just has an archaic policy that is a disservice to the fans. I remember when Trevor Dunbar was hurt, the coaching staff was asked if he was injured. "No comment." I asked Dunbar, personally, and he told me the problem. He even had it posted on his FB page. We are not asking for a person's blood pressure, heartbeat, cholesterol level, etc. Just asking why a player/athlete is not competing. Simple as that.
The player/athlete is permitted to tell you whatever he wishes about an injury to himself. The school may or may not be. The safe thing for the school to do is limit what they put out there.
Saying a player has or had a knee injury is one thing. Describing it in detail is another. The only one being ridiculous here is you.
