Not Law - "Concussions Put College Players in Murky World"
The NY Times had an important front-page story on college football and concussions last Thursday. According to the story, although both the pros and high schools have concussion protocols, the college level does not. (At least not in football. I remember that a Stanford womens' basketball player - a scrappy point guard - who suffered too many concussions to meet Stanford protocol transferred to Texas to successfully complete her collegiate career a few years back.)
Those of you who watched the Stanford-Notre Dame game last weekend may be particularly interested in the multimedia side-bar, which begins: "When football players sustain traumatic blows to the head, some television commentators see a great play while others take a more sober tone."
