re: Concussions, not stipends, will be the downfall of the NCAA

The NCAA doesn't have the same cloud hanging over it so there is no legal grounds to sue.
I don't want to see college football fall because of lawsuits, but this article leads me to believe that the players do have some legal grounds for a lawsuit. It doesn't focus on injuries from the 1960s and 1970s like the NFL lawsuit. Instead, it focuses on the last 20 or so years and the lack of a clearly defined procedure for concussion prevention and treatment. I have to believe the NCAA and member institutions have been aware of the negative consequences of concussions since 1990, no?

It sucks but I don't see how it is possible to prevent concussions in fast moving contact sports. Hell, one of my kids got one in a flag football game when he dove and his head met a knee. Fat people moving slow have less of a risk unless they are repeatedly bashing heads.
