You can find the most amazing things on eBay. Today I give you all the 1944 NCAA Official Boxing Rules which arrived in this morning's post.
Now here's the question: will this 1944 guidebook talk about chronic traumatic encephalopathy as a risk of boxing?
The answer is "yes".
Let's magnify one chunk, shall we? "This pathetic condition [CTE] may occur in any activity which causes jarring of the brain." Let's be clear, that's 1944.
In 2019, Senator Chris Murphy published "Madness, Inc. How College Sports Can Leave Athletes Broken and Abandoned." He said of those college students who played between 1956-2008 that nearly 16,000 of them will suffer from CTE. I've shown you that was foreseeable for the NCAA.
