The Future of Football.
How Many Years Left of Tribe Football?

Insurance is generally no longer covering head injuries for football players. The sport as we know it will die.

Ironically, the only thing that might save this -wildly-popular-red-state-sport would be...drumroll, a Single-payer national health insurance

Will this finally get Medicare for All passed? 03-wink

In all seriousness though, I think this is too pessimistic. When there is this much money involved they will find a way. At W&M it will be more difficult just because we don't bring in the revenue, but I think people still love football enough to embrace it. I think most reasonable objections people have can be addressed with honesty and being up-front with players about the risk.
