As a father of a 15 year old son who has played football since the third grade, the new rules for playing elegibility after a concussion have steeply gone more strict this last year. My son had a concussion in one game and didn't play the remainder of that game and was automatically eliminated from the next game. He needed to get a doctor's pass that allowed him to play before the next game based on cognative tests that he had to pass. At a small school like my son goes to, a blanket statement like above would wipe out the team mid way through the season.
