You really should check into this. College policies are all over the map.

I received a letter this summer from the athletic department of my son's college. In it they absolved themselves of all medical cost responsibilities for injuries received during athletic events. The college requires each student to offer proof of coverage from a family health insurance policy or purchase a student health insurance plan from the college.

Mind you, this is no penny-ante school we're talking about. The college has a $3 billion (yes, that is a 'B') endowment and sponsors several NCAA D1 athletic programs. You'd think they would cover their athletes with an umbrella policy.
