Sports Illustrated
When Ohio State guard Evan Turner decided not to enter this year’s NBA draft and return to Columbus for his junior season, Turner’s former club coach, Mike Mullins, made only one request: Buy an insurance policy. “He said if I didn’t have one, he’d kill me,” Turner recalled. So about a month ago, Turner bought a policy through a program run by the NCAA that will pay out should he suffer a career-ending injury and never make it to the NBA.

Eight days ago, a graduating class of more than 8,000 rumbled out of the house that Chic Harley built.
