And 20 is a lot more than 9 and they weren't all from one class. If I added 3 or 4 classes around when In graduated, the number would be even higher.
My point being that, while it's sad, it's not crazy that young people die. The causes of their deaths were varied and seemed unrelated to each other for the most part, other than the two that died together in a car crash. If a couple were suicides and a couple were drug od's and a couple were a car crash, you've kind of got the sources of most deaths of young men nationally, right there. I don't think there's much correlation to football and those causes of death.
It's just my opinion and reasonable people can reach different conclusions.
