Dr. Karen Weaver and Melanie Bennett discuss the top risks facing college athletics as identified by United Educators, a risk management and liability insurance company. They explore various themes, including the impact of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) regulations, health risks such as concussions, legal considerations in risk management, emergency preparedness, and the importance of addressing hazing and abuse in sports. The conversation also touches on hiring practices for coaches, navigating uncertain legal landscapes, and the significance of Title IX and gender equity in athletics. The discussion concludes with practical recommendations for college presidents and athletic departments to mitigate risks and ensure the safety and well-being of student-athletes.
