Report Card on NCAA Concussion Policies

Colleges remain inconsistent in the way they handle athletes' concussions,
according to a Harvard University study that comes more than four years
after the NCAA began requiring schools to educate their players about the
risks of head trauma and develop plans to keep injured athletes off the
field.
.
In a survey that included responses from 907 of the NCAA's 1,066 members,
researchers found that nearly one in five schools either don't have the
required concussion management plan or have done such a poor job in
educating their coaches, medical staff and compliance officers that they
are not sure one exists.
.
"Collectively, the institutions without a concussion management plan are
responsible for the well-being of thousands of college athletes each
year," according to the study co-written by Harvard researcher Christine
Baugh and published this week in the American Journal of Sports Medicine.
"For stakeholders to follow an institution's concussion management plan --
or to have confidence that others are following the plan -- they must
first know that it exists."
.
The findings in the study reinforce the images fans have seen in stadiums
since the problem with concussions became more widely known: Wobbly
players are sent back onto the field without proper medical clearance as
coaches remain ignorant to their injury -- perhaps willfully. The authors
recommend that the NCAA bolster its 2010 policy to require schools to make
their plans public, to better educate coaches about concussion symptoms
and to require that schools not only come up with plans but actually apply
them.
.
"As written, the NCAA concussion policy only requires the presence of a
plan and not that the plan is actually implemented," the study says.
"Perhaps the most important next step is for the NCAA to revise the
language of its concussion policy to reflect the necessity of plan
implementation."
