Eric the Red Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 This has to do with volleyball, but with womens sports in general too. Do you think the NU athletic department offers free birth control to it's female athletes??? Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 That is an odd question and I've never had to think about it. I am guessing this was brought up over some pitchers and wings at the Hole? Quote Link to comment
AR Husker Fan Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 I would think, "No". Unless I'm mistaken, the athletic department can pay for prescription medications only when related to a medical condition. Now, it is true that "The Pill" is sometimes used for other than birth control, such as to "regulate" menstration - in those cases, I would assume that the athletic department can pay for them since it is being used to treat a medical condition.

StuckinChicago Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 If the insurance companies can find a way to not pay for it, than Im sure the university can too, allthough in Illinois it is state law that insurance companies have to cover the birth control, for any reason. Quote Link to comment
formerfan Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Sometimes "the pill" is used for controlling hormones, so in that instance they may pick it up as a medical necessity. If its used specifically for birth control, I dont see how they could play for it. Quote Link to comment

I think I kinda have a thing for Elmer. I don't know, have you ever heard of a NU volleyball player redshirting because she got knocked up? Quote Link to comment
