[QUOTE="Illinibadge, post: 1390683, member: 28160"] I think I will disagree with you to a point. The overwhelming majority of college freshman students are 17-18, that means they are legally adults, and therefore was enter into legally binding agreements as it applies to their health. I would imagine what you might start to see would instead be colleges requiring "consent forms" prior to playing football, they will force some sort of video/course on the impact prior to playing any football. NFL will of course be even easier to prove consent. What I do think will start to be eliminated is 11-11 tackle football in HS and before. I think you are already starting to see that in wealthier areas. I personally went to a suburban better educated school district (Mahomet) with a relatively stellar 15-20 year run in football prior to the last couple of years (I would guess the average record between 2000 and 2010 was 7-2 or 8-1), and towards the early 2000s, probably well over 50+ kids went out for football each year. They are getting to the point now where fielding a full team with backups is getting harder and harder. I think that is where you will start to see it going away, with the kids, because parents will stop their kids from going out. But at least for now, there is too much money in CFB for it to go away.
