NFF Applauds New Concussion Legislation
The National Football Foundation (NFF) & College Hall of Fame praised the Power Five conferences fornew legislation passed Jan. 15 during the NCAA Convention in San Antonio that establishes the “unchallengeable autonomous authority” of team physicians and athletic trainers to make return-to-play decisions for student-athletes after concussions and other injuries.
“We applaud the Power Five Conferences on their leadership on formalizing the rules for protecting the safety of our nation’s student-athletes,” said NFF President & CEO Steve Hatchell. “The issue of concussions remains a top concern for everybody involved with athletics at all levels, and this new legislation is another important step in the process that has made college athletics safer than ever.”
The Power Five conferences, which include the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC, adopted the new rule to formalize their current return-to-play protocols, which ensure critical health and safety decisions rest with medical professionals who cannot face pressure or the threat of firing from coaches or other forces. Brian Hainline, the NCAA's chief medical officer told ESPN: "I believe it's the most important piece of legislation in the history of the NCAA… No one can challenge their authority."
