Clifford on right track with pursuit of benefits

Sunday Sports Mailbag

I was reading the story in the Mirror about Sean Clifford leading a movement to help improve the benefits for college athletes.

Medical benefits for life for athletes is an overlooked and incredibly important issue.

Until it's affordable to personally treat/finance sports injuries, the teams and leagues need to address this.

I have two neighbors that were Division III athletes.

The ex-football player sustained a knee and back injury during his college career and estimates he's paid out over $50,000 in medical bills.

The second guy was a tennis player. He has back/shoulder problems.

If I understand correctly, Clifford is looking to address this in his discussions. Good for him.
