Marf hit it on the head. They will cover whatever is needed.

What about lingering injury issues long after the player has left the school?

I believe it sorta depends, as I think there are a few things in place to help after graduation (like if medical bills for the injury exceeded some number), but it will also vary by school. In general, though, a university's responsibility ends when the player graduates. That's how I've always understood it, taking into account there are some exceptions at the university and NCAA level.
