Abstract

Concussions in college football have become a significant concern due to their potential long-term impact on player health and safety. This study provides a comparative analysis of concussion prevention programs across various college football teams, with the aim of identifying best practices in sports management. By examining the strategies, policies, and educational programs implemented by different teams, the study highlights the effectiveness of these initiatives in reducing the incidence of concussions. The research draws on data collected from interviews with sports management professionals, reviews of existing literature, and an analysis of injury reports. The findings reveal that successful concussion prevention programs share common elements such as comprehensive player education, advanced helmet technology, rigorous enforcement of safety protocols, and ongoing monitoring of player health. These best practices not only enhance player safety but also contribute to the overall success of the team by fostering a culture of responsibility and care. The study concludes with recommendations for sports management professionals to adopt and adapt these best practices to improve concussion prevention efforts across college football programs.
