My dad played offensive line, here at SU, and UNC offered him free scans on his head. He got the scans and small amounts of CTE were present and he just played 2 and a half years at SU until he blew his knee out and the surgery wasn't too great back then. So in only his years playing in high school (which he missed most of his senior year with a broken ankle) and 2 and a half years of college and it was present in his brain. UNC found a match for him with an NFL player (the NFL player's further developed) for more testing but something happened and it fell through, I'll have to ask him. He says he will occasionally have an almost like full body spasm or something along those lines. It really is a problem that needs to be addressed sooner than later, specifically youth football in my opinion.
 
All that being said, my father doesn't regret playing football at SU. He credits it for the reason why he was able to get out of his (poop)-hole town and make something better of his life. I've never heard an ounce of regret and that is after the small amounts of CTE, 2 knee replacements, multiple other knee surgeries, and 2 shoulder replacements. He even pushed me to the game.
