USA FOOTBALL SAFETY STUDY

 

The IHSA just recognized US Football (which I took to mean USA Football) as a governing body of football.  USA Football just released a two year study of injuries in football.  Quick fact, majority of injuries occur in games, not practices, which matches the NFHS Injury report.  The NFHS has just issued rule changes to address injuries in games.  The IHSA Summer Proposal makes even less sense by taking away summer contact under these two studies.
