9. If the NFL has to pay

Thu Mar 28, 2019, 04:05 PM

it is logical that high schools and colleges are also culpable. In fact a significant portion of the damage probably occurred during the high school and college portions of the NFL player's career.

Eventually folks are going to look at CTE for college players who never went to the NFL. I bet they find a statistical link like for the NFL players. Same can probably be said for high school.
