AP: BT to place athletic trainer in replay booth to look out for possible concussions

[BleedGopher]

per the AP:

An independent athletic trainer stationed in the video replay booth will be on the look-out for players who show visible signs of a concussion during Big Ten football games in 2015.

The Big Ten announced Monday that its Council of Presidents/Chancellors approved the change Sunday at a meeting in Indianapolis.

The independent athletic trainer will have his or her own video monitor and have the ability to directly contact officials on the field. He or she will be in addition to the continued presence of on-field doctors and athletic trainers from each school.

Soon, there will be so many officials, a play will be run every 20 minutes. I hope they can sell enough advertising.
