Garth:
I find it interesting that the CDC will release a study this month that calls concussions an "epidemic" at the high school level and lower.
This is why we saw this year in the NFHS Rule Book a POE about head injury trauma and the care.
As the NFL slowly admits to the long term effect of brain injuries to their retired players I believe we are on the edge of a new view of head injuries.
We are currently working on articles for the new NFHS magazine that deals with player head injuries . . . I think baseball umpires would be a great source to review for head injuries to sport officials.
