CBS: NCAA court documents reveal 16,277 reported concussions in CFB from 2004-2009

per CBSSports:

The issues are complicated, but what I mainly wanted to do was examine a number: 29,225.

That, according to the NCAA's own injury-tracking data, was the total number of concussions from all NCAA sports from 2004-2009.

"In addition," the court documents examined by CBSSports.com say, "the statistics show approximately 16,277 of these occurred in football, which is more than all other Fall sports combined."

This story is just beginning. Watch the last 15 minutes of today's Fareed Zakaria's GPS. I would not be the least bit surprised if the cost of maintaining injured college football players became so enormous that the sport ends as we know it. Read about Ben Utech and it can be pretty scary.
