He incurred the back injury playing here. Helping him with that just seems reasonable and logical.
The mental side would just be the humane thing to do. No need to make things worse for the kid along the way when he obviously needed some help.
The resources available to him would be local to Ames when he was a student-athlete. I see no reason why we would feel any moral obligation to provide resources when he moves away and no longer affiliated with the university.

I think you can look at helping arrange care during the transition, maybe switch to blue cross blue shield so the network is bigger than Ames..

Testifying
The statements of medical care, both physically and mentally, seem very "glossy."
Like, to be a decent human, I hope he is OK, but it feels too PR-based.

It depends on the circumstances, IMO. Its not black and white.
Agreed, nobody outside the basketball program really knows how it went down.

The rumor is he could have “stayed on the team” through the end of the year but wouldn’t have been playing but instead Caleb decided he would rather not be on the team and decided to leave.

It would have surprised me if he had stayed in Ames and not been able to utilize the existing resources already available to him though.

I would assume a psychiatrist or psychologist would put a call into his new care team or give a name for him to go to at the very least. But I don't claim to know how kansas is for mental health treatment I'm assuming better than iowa

I still refuse to believe that anything is better in Kansas.

I once went to a gas station in the late 2010s in Missouri that only sold r.c. cola products. Felt like I stopped off in 1957.
That in a nutshell epitomizes Missouri so perfectly. And for the record, I always felt RC Cola was underrated, but I digress...

Agree with this.

Article said he went back home to Kansas as soon as he was dismissed from the team.

Pretty sure if he would have stayed in Ames he would have had access to all of the physical and mental health services. Think TJ said that when talking about his dismissal. Doubt they were just going to shut him out if he had finished out the semester in Ames.

I just moved and my therapist said that she's legally required to provide a list of referrals as part of offboarding. If they don't, they're liable under abandonment laws.

Edit: obviously it could be different state-to-state and private practice vs university resource

I worked in sales in Kansas for about 2 years out of college in various parts: Pratt (west of Wichita), Hutchinson, and northern around Concordia/Washington area. Obviously this was for livestock, but it just doesn't seem like much goes on in that state, not that Iowa is so much different. I stayed in Wichita, Topeka, and Lawrence to mix it up sometimes.

You forfeit that when you get kicked off the team. They will pass infomation along but will not go out of their way to set things up. At that point it is on you to take your information to whichever provider you want to use.
