Wouldn't institutions just ask players to sign a waivers to indemnify them? Aren't there enough kids in the pipeline dreaming of stardom that will sign such a waiver without thinking twice?


Waivers still have to hold up in court. Just because they're waterproof doesn't mean they're legal. Any contract can be overthrown if it understates the risk or if there was gross negligence on the part of the coach.


Parents have been signing indemnify clauses for years. I know my parents did when I played in high school in the early 90's.


Yes, but would their parents allow them?
