[QUOTE="South Farms, post: 1390814, member: 590046"] in some areas- which may be related to income or not , football may become unpopular with parents and youth , just as youth boxing did . When that occurs, programs whither away and die. in other areas, it may stay popular, but lawsuits related to brain injuries will force the IHSA (in Illinois) to stop sanctioning it. When that occurs, it will be up to amateur leagues to pop up and take over the roles high schools took on. That is going to force drastic changes in the game and the result will likely be these 7 on 7 leagues, where the game and rules will resemble the product we see in the indoor Arena League, only I envision it with no helmets as there will officially be "no contact" just like basketball. Crazy as it seems, if you remove the helmets, you will remove the 99% of the brain injuries. They dont use them in rugby nor Aussie football. [/QUOTE]
