I see a distant correlation to women's pro running contracts, specifically with someone like Camille Herron. She knew all terms of her Nike contract before signing it. She collected her paychecks with some good and some bad results. Then she moved on and joined Hoka apparently to appear progressive for women. Because men's contracts and women's contracts have such a grave pay scale difference according to her. An opportune time to identify as the victim of intentionally signing a contract (US Women's Soccer Team, anyone?) Which, conveniently, Camille can't share the details for all to validate because it was non-disclosure. So she's a victim on her own terms at any time it fits whatever narrative she wants to portray.

My bet is the college athletes knew of the expectations, and by what means those expectations would be met. Sure, an 18 year old isn't even close to being matured. But I'd like to see this subject dissected.

Thrice-annual DEXA scans?? Don't know if that is a good idea considering the X is for X-ray. May be low-dose X-rays, but X-rays nonetheless.
