Standardized injury reports (NFL-style) - yay or nay?

[bonarae]

Some FBS conferences tried to implement it in the past few seasons but for this season, the NCAA is shutting the door on any injury / availability reports. Reasons related to gambling are the reasons why.

Should the injury report be revisited and possibly implemented in the future, would your conference and/or team implement it at all? xchinscratchx

Against it

Never saw the reason to have an injury report.

Only if it could be properly monitored and enforced for accuracy. If not, don't waste our time. From scouting standpoint, I don't much care .. from gambling standpoint, I would care a lot ... but it's FCS, so not a lot of gambling compared to FBS or NFL, I would imagine.

So probably not worth it because I doubt it would be enforced in any real way.

Only reason the NFL has them is for betting lines and fantasy football.

No, a student's health is no one's business.

Yep, they're not pros, stop treating them as such, unless you're going to pay them (this is not an invitation to open that can of worms)

Yep, they're not pros, stop treating them as such .... period !!!
you had me hook, line, and sinker for the first half of your post, so ... FIFY

For some media, this would be at a disadvantage to them, as they tend to share why players are not in practice or in uniform for gamedays. But some lesser conferences and teams are not even open to sharing why players were suspended, injured, etc. I am not sure if "team rules" situations also apply here, since they are treated as confidential to the team and its members. We virtually never know what kind or how common these "team rules" are across schools. xtwocentsx

I mean if the student is open with disclosing the information and the team okays it I don't see any issue with it, but there should be exactly nothing requiring that information to be disclosed.

I'm actually for it. It seems that by making this public, it could help contribute to player's safety.

How????

Neither is that of people in the NFL.

The exact opposite is more likely. If a player has a disclosed injury, but still able to play, opponents could target that player for a "little extra" through the whistle. Beyond the team a player is on, it's nobody's business who's injured or not.

That's an entirely different can of worms.
