Nebraska developing sideline concussion test for football
Nebraska is developing a sideline test that can identify a concussion within ten minutes.
While football's rules have been undergoing changes to help prevent concussions and head shots, medical staffs around the country are also working on more efficient ways to identify concussions.
One exciting development at the University of Nebraska could allow a team's medical staff to determine if a player has a concussion within ten minutes of violent contact.
At the school's Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior (CB3), director Dennis Molfese says experts are putting the finishing the touches on an electrode-covered mesh cap that can act as a functional MRI on football sidelines and elsewhere. The hope is that the cap will allow a team's medical staff to analyze the player's brain waves and determine if he sustained a concussion and the severity.
"There's no question it's going to move the dial forward," NCAA chief medical officer Brian Hainline told the Associated Press. "The big, hoped-for dream would be, let's have a biomarker in brain imagine. If you're to the left of that, you're safe; if you're to the right of it, you're not. That's probably a few years out. But functional brain imaging and blood flow are going to be a very important part of that."

The device should be ready for use "within one to two years," and eventually could spread to other areas of healthcare.

#1 on the "College Football's Biggest Hits" article:
Michigan safety Daydrion Taylor hit Penn State tight end Bob Stephenson so hard on the final play of the first quarter in the teams’ 1997 game in Happy Valley that it horrifyingly knocked both players out. Stephenson was later diagnosed with a Grade 3 concussion, while Taylor underwent neck fusion surgery.

Today the scUM guy would be flagged for a helmet to helmet hit and probably ejected from the game (if he actually could return).

You kids stay off my lawn!
Forgive an old geezer for stating this again: back in my coaching days I had to go to a yearly safety seminar. One year we had the trainer from UVA talking about helmet fitting (you can imagine my excitement as a tracK and CC coach) and demonstrating how helmets should fit -- so tight that you had to use two hands to pull the ear flaps out far enough to get the helmet off the head. Further, if a helmet is too loose, it moves away from the skull as much as two inches before slamming back down on the skull, thus increasing the impact of the blow on the wearer.
This was just about the time the handheld sideline cameras were being worked into NFL coverage and now the pros wanted to be able to whip the helmet off and wave to Mom. Prior to that, seeing a helmet come off during a game was a once or twice a year phenomenon. Now I believe I see a helmet fly off at least once a quarter.
Yes, the frequency of hits, the size, weight, strength and speed of today's players are important, but so is the helmet. To the extent that the helmet is involved, I don't think this is an issue of helmet design as much as it is an issue of enforcing proper helmet sizing.

You never lose to those pricks. Ever. Ever. - UFM
This is what I have been saying. ESPiN's outcry for safety for something they helped create with their highlights of human missiles also pisses me off. Learn how to tackle, wear your equipment the right way, and stop glorifying piss poor form.

When is having a concussion a good thing?....
Concussion concern proves to be godsend for Gopher receiver
When is a concussion a good thing? When you’re Jeff Borchardt and you’re suspected of having one, as it turns out.
Borchardt is a walk-on wide receiver at Minnesota. During spring practice this year, Borchardt sustained what was believed to be a concussion as he attempted to make a leaping catch.
As part of the football program’s concussion protocol, Borchardt underwent medical tests and, well, it turns out that a potential concussion was the least of the player’s worries. From the Minneapolis Star-Tribune:
He was given a CT-Scan at the hospital and cleared for any of the usual concerns with a head injury – no skull fracture, no internal bleeding.
The doctors, however, did see one abnormality that had them concerned. They ordered a dye-induced MRI. Later that same night, the family received the news. Borchardt, 20, had a brain tumor.
Borchardt, who played in three games last season, underwent surgery last week to remove the tumor. His father stated that the procedure was a complete success.
