I know of multiple concussions, ACL, MCL tears, broken leg, broken arm, fractured cheek bone in just the girls daughter has played with. So yes, I can see them saying high risk. Probably higher risk than nordic ski.
I need to let my dad know how high risk and unsupportable fishing is.Yeah looks like theyre getting out of the water game
Go back and look a the context of my reply you responded to. I was replying to a guy who contended that there aren't many injuries in soccer.It's not about injury risk. It's about LAWSUIT risk.
People don't sue ISU over a ACL tear in club sports. They sue when their kid dies.
Enrollment is still higher than it was a few years ago no? I'm sure we had most of these sports then too. What's the difference?With Iowa State having lower total enrollment, the university is looking to reduce expenses across the board. So it only makes sense to look to reduce the number of sports clubs due to the lower amount of student funds.
Looking at the list of activities the High Risk Not Supported seem to be activities that you have to travel off campus to participate in for both practice or competition or are actually high risk (rodeo). The high risk supported seem to be activities that have fields or facilities on campus to practice but travel off campus for competition and are 'larger team sports' requiring more transportation.
If fishing is high risk, I am totally using that as a bar pickup line from here on out. Just tell all the girls " you know I fish right?" I am kind of a daredevil like that. Yeah yeah I also skydive, Paramotor, climb mountains, run ruck races, but fishing is the real risky stuff.
You're confused. I'm talking about soccer. Football is a completely different matter of which I totally agree with you. That aside, if you show me a soccer player with CTE, I will definitely begin to reconsider.
Most governing bodies are banning heading at the younger ages.For what it's worth...

Four former soccer players who had advanced forms of dementia were also found to have chronic traumatic encephalopathy, according to a study published Tuesday.www.cnn.com
Oh I am not trying to argue soccer is or isn't injury prone at all.Go back and look a the context of my reply you responded to. I was replying to a guy who contended that there aren't many injuries in soccer.
To be fair, the fishing they're talking about isn't a half dozen students sitting on a bank of a farm pond with bobbers floating around. Amazing how many schools have bass teams now:

Thanks! Very interesting. And my father having died of complications due to Alzheimers and me very close to turning 63 you've peaked my interest. That said, the article did say that more studies need to be done to differentiate between the natural occurrence of dementia and CTE caused dementia. Also, of importance is the 'risk' assessment. How many per 1000 for example? I ask because risk is everywhere. And, I'd argue more prevalent in many other areas of life than playing soccer. That said, this information, at the very least, affords the player to choose more intelligently and assume risk more intelligently.For what it's worth...

If you google Iowa State fall xxxx enrollment, this years fall enrollment is at a 10 year low.Enrollment is still higher than it was a few years ago no? I'm sure we had most of these sports then too. What's the difference?
And don't the kids pay most of the fees associated with the sport.
