At times I wonder if there's disability insurance for the athletes too. I do come across so many of them at the college.

Yes there are such programs. Have you heard of the atheletes belonging to the NCAA?

This one is kind of tough, usually a case by case basis. It depends what professional level you are talking about, and what kind of athelete.

I was just talking about the casual college athletes, most of whom I see are not serious about insurance. Don't you think they should apply for disability insurance coverage?

Yes, there's this student athletes disability program designed specifically for the NCAA students. To get enrolled in this program, you'll need to fill out the quote form and hand it over to the administrator. Applications from the student or his legal guardian would only be accepted.

I guess this program offers a permanent total disability coverage for 24 months. You'll probably be covered for illness or accident for a period of 24 hours.

The "problem" inherent in "disability" policies (assuming we're talking about disability income) for student athletes is that they generally have little or no true income. So if they become totally disabled, what is their economic loss?
Not every athlete gets drafted into the pro ranks. So we can't really say anything about "lost future earnings" -- that's all hypothetical.
To offer to pay money to someone that has little income can create a "morale hazard" -- a matter of "bad attitude" that can cause a person to find a way to collect a benefit (or to prevent a benefit from ending) they really are not entitled to receive.
And if the student athlete has income derived directly from his participation in a sport, the NCAA has other things to say about that.

The typical student athlete can't get disability coverage. A student athlete who will be signing a professional contract can get coverage. It will take a specialty insurer.

Student athletes who sign professional contracts are no longer student athletes.
