There needs to be a baseline metric at some point.

I’m not even sure that a medical metric exists, but say just for an argument that a player gets an MRI before he participates in his first contact activity. And again once his collegiate career ends.

Then in theory there would be something to assess what portion of trauma is attributable to college football. And the insurance metrics can be overlaid to the baseline.

All in theory, of course, as a non-post-mortem medical metric may not exist, and how could you say x% of CTE was due to the college years. But I do like the concept of paying into a medical or insurance fund for the players.
