Virginia Tech to lead national, five-year study on head impacts in youth football

This is an awesome new development, by the same team which began the program which now is essentially the standard for rating helmets.

The plan is with Wake and Brown to track 6 teams for peewee players all the way till Middle School and examine the future of the sport.

Awesome to see VT taking the lead on the necessary research to make the game as sustainable as possible, and at least establish base line numbers for the diagnosis and potential prevention of life crippling disorders.
