In response to palestra38
What is your problem? I am somewhat familiar with HIPAA, which is why I merely pointed out that HIPAA is considered by many to limit a university's ability to disseminate confidential medical information about its students. The article you found, one of many on the topic, confirms that HIPAA does indeed provide limits. Yes, it does explain that a university could obtain a signed waiver, something I initially alluded to.
Oh, and as far as accusing me of making things up, I can confirm that when I asked last year about Aiken's status I was informed that the nature of his injury could not be divulged because to do so would be a HIPAA violation.
This is the Ivy League, not Kentucky. Regardless, as I explained, there appears to be nothing to report. Multiple sources report that Aiken and Towns are healthy. Do you need their medical history? Why?
If you think that protecting the medical confidentiality of a student is the result of some nefarious Belichick like scheme, you're gonna want to seek some professional help. Frankly, I have no idea whether we know the health of Penn's players and don't care. Looks like Towns, Aiken and Bruner are all expected to play. Deal with it.
