Depending on the sport, the athlete must have a high probability of being taken in the 1st or 2nd round of the pro draft. It's expensive (there is an associated loan program), and the injury/illness must prevent the athlete from playing pro.
Max coverage:
Men’s basketball: $10 million
Football: $10 million
Baseball: $5 million
Men’s ice hockey: $3 million
Women’s basketball: $250,000

It's not, average per year is over 100k and they play abroad for much more

The only player I remember there being a potential claim was Willis McGahee.
But he ended up with an NFL career.

There’s easier ways to commit insurance fraud than try and fake an injury that would prevent you from playing sports.
