Again I'm wondering why the NCAA doesn't get more of a focus in this, rather than the NFL.
I suppose it's all NFL players who have submitted their brains for this.
To me, the idea that there are people, probably many people, who played football every year from their freshman year of high school through their senior year of college and never even got a college degree, let alone were paid for their services, is much more troubling. Likely many of those folks have some degree of CTE as well, without the lifetime earnings to go with it.
The NFL makes a lot of money off of their blood sport exhibitions, but so does the NCAA. So do many high schools in the south.
AND, on top of that, if you suffer brain damage from football in high school or college, when you are not an employee, you cannot later get coverage for your medical bills through workers' comp --- NFL players can.
