I’d be very hesitant to attempt to extrapolate the % of CTE cases found in the brains studied to the League as a whole. There’s a very obvious selection bias that precludes that.
Oh yeah, I don't think this rule affects any players whose professional rights are owned, but the eligibility clock starting at the earlier of high school graduation or a 19th birthday will certainly squeeze the many programs that rely on fielding an older roster to compete with the few programs. For example, Michigan has 11 players aged 20 or younger, while Notre Dame has 3. Ferris State has 6 players under 22.
About 6% of individuals diagnosed with CTE also have ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease), which was what killed McMichael. By comparison, the incidence of ALS in the general population is about one thousandth of that.
Fellas: Why even be talking about hearsay and all this garbage....,,,,,.,
I will reopen this thread later on.........
this is not that hard.........
References and inside info is just the same as naming and all this other pointless drivel.....
I got emails from 3 separate individuals...... That should be enough to tell you all to just focus on actual TEAMS and PLAYERS and COMMUNITIES.....
Simple really......
