Message: [QUOTE="maddoggy, post: 3066856, member: 2579"] I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here, but I think you may have misunderstood what I was saying. I'm not suggesting that UConn should ban students from playing football on their own. I'm saying a public school whose mission statements say it wants to "promote the health and well-being of citizens" should not be endorsing something that it KNOWS is damaging to the students for whose health it is responsible. It may not have started in 1896, but here is how UConn identifies what the UConn Health program should mean: "A commitment to human health and well-being has been of utmost importance to [URL='http://uchc.edu/']UConn Health[/URL] since the founding of the University of Connecticut schools of Medicine and Dental Medicine in 1961." Our amcestors didn't know about CTE in 1896. But we do. [/QUOTE]
