The reasonit is a big deal for the NFL is that the NFL may have known the dangers of concussions and hidden them from the players. 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?

its a shame these players were so dumb to not know the risk of a full contact sport where you are constantly banging your head into something.
