my son has a torn ACL injured playing intramurals at BYUI

Why should BYU cover ?

Because he was injured while playing an event organized by the university? It's

Son voluntarily played if they were responsible for every injury they would not

If you read my post I said the same thing. Guy's just asking...

It is a completely unreasonable request for the school to pay.

Just asked if they do. No demands

Understood. Was replying to a different post.

I seriously doubt it. I tore mine playing intramurals at BYU and it was all on my father's insurance.

especially because intramurals are totally voluntary. Someone could argue for a

Same here. Looks like a few of us should have hung up the cleats lol

I did not make the claim that they did…just asked a question…I’m not putting

Sorry about the injury. But I’d venture to say not a chance.

my guess is there was a waiver when he signed up for intramural’s

Yup.

Waivers are almost never enforceable. The only way BYUI would be liable is if

I didn't say they are never enforceable.

Most lawyers love to take on waivers. They’re more eye candy than people think

if there’s negligence or intentional conduct of course

This has been my experience. It helps deter some lawsuits, but they aren't 100%

Why would they pay for any of it?

That isn't going to happen

Doubt it. They’d shut down intramurals if they had to start paying for injuries.

Sorry to hear about your son but also concerned why you would expect BYUI to

Where were the expectations?

Please don't. If every injured kid did this, the Church would stop putting gyms

If they did that all intramurals would be cancelled for everyone. I’m sorry

Good opportunity to teach a YM too that when crap happens in life,

My friend broke his leg playing intramurals years back. He paid his own bills.

You sign a release of liability waiver before you can be put on a roster.

not trying to force anything…just asked a question..no demands or expectations

Fair question. My understanding is a school's liability only applies to official
