Concussions in Intercollegiate Athletics

NCAA Concussion Identification/Management Rules NCAA Concussion Rule - Adopted 8/12/2010 An active member institution shall have a concussion management plan for its student-athletes.  The plan shall include, but is not limited to, the following:  An annual process that ensures student-athletes are educated about the signs and symptoms of concussions.  Student-athletes must acknowledge that they have received information about the signs and symptoms of concussions and that they have a responsibility to report concussion-related injuries and illnesses to a medical staff member;

NCAA Concussion Identification/Management Rules A process that ensures a student-athlete who exhibits signs, symptoms or behaviors consistent with a concussion shall be removed from athletics activities (e.g., competition, practice, conditioning sessions) and evaluated by a medical staff member (e.g., sports medicine staff, team physician) with experience in the evaluation and management of concussions; A policy that precludes a student-athlete diagnosed with a concussion from returning to athletics activity (e.g., competition, practice, conditioning sessions) for at least the remainder of that calendar day; and A policy that requires medical clearance for a student-athlete diagnosed with a concussion to return to the athletics activity (e.g., competition, practice, conditioning sessions) as determined by a physician (e.g., team physician) or the physician's designee.
