Head Injury Litigation: Why No NCAA?

In the pros, the players are employees of their teams which in turn participate in the league. The football field is the workplace. .

quick legal question born from pure ignorance - woudl this hold true for say a chemical explosion at Dow chemicals vs a chem explosion at MIT?

to your next point - i think simply for organizing the "class"
the players assoc has all the names/contacts at the touch of a finger (presumably) whereas the university would have that info for college players and i doubt they're too keen on putting those names together
