As long as this thread has veered off into concussions, I think the more significant information is in this article published by the NCAA: http://www.ncaa.org/wps/wcm/connect/public/ncaa/resources/latest+news/2011/november/rochester+study+suggests+concussive+effects+of+cumulative+hits?&utm_source=delivra&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=NCAA%20News%20Direct

Current research, although apparently not conclusive, seems to be saying that in terms of eventual outcomes, regular head banging that does not result in concussions can produce just as much brain trauma. This is pretty disturbing.

Another good article.

It is indeed disturbing. I wonder if "regular head banging" will be shown to include heading a soccer ball on a regular basis. VERY disturbing. I think the sport could find a way to deal with the occasional head-to-head encounter, but this would be something else. And, I wonder how the results will turn out when they do a third test after 6 months to see if things have healed. That might actually be the most important result.

According to a poster over on BigSoccer, it appears the NCAA has put discussion about not allowing Spring games "on hold." Since the proposal under consideration involved the non-revenue sports and appeared to have a disproportionate impact on women, I'm guessing that, in part, the lawyers said, "Whoaa, here, Title IX, Title IX ...." Plus, maybe the near 100% opposition from the athletes themselves had an impact.
