EPIC Insurance: Protecting the 'student' in 'student-athlete'

New policy pays for school in the event of a lost scholarship or career-ending injury while in college.

While the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) directors reexamine several policies amid controversy about how student athletes are treated, one of the nation’s fastest-growing insurance brokers has moved to protect high school athletes who have received a verbal offer for an athletic scholarship or grant from an NCAA Division I or Division II sports program.
