The problem of risk compensation is not mainstream, so I doubt that the NFL will be pressured into considering the Peltzman Effect. Economist Art Carden in a [2021 article](https://studentsforliberty.org/north-america/blog/peltzman-effect-nfl-concussions/) has also suggested, citing the Peltzman Effect, ditching safety gear. People’s lives and bodies are being ruined, and we must do our best to convince the mainstream of this theory’s validity. In the case of football, the helmets, Guardian Caps, and other padding only provide partial protection, but given that it provides protection, it should be expected to increase recklessness. I am not disputing how much they could reduce the impact force of collision. The balls are massive and provide almost perfect protection. The result? People are emboldened by the extra protection to lead into tackles headfirst. The so-called “ Safety should be a top priority, but if the NFL or worse, lawmakers, decide to increase safety standards, they may increase critical injuries rather than decrease them. For example, helmets partially protect the head, and professional football has a notorious concussion problem. This can be easily universalized to all kinds of safety measures, especially those found in contact sports.

Gordon and his co-plaintiffs argued that a way to remedy the disparity in sports participation numbers among high school boys and girls was to offer tackle girls tackle football in the schools. "I want them to have every opportunity that my son had," Tyson Monson, one of the league's coaches who has four daughters who play football, told KSL-TV. They're the kinds of life lessons that should be available for girls as well as boys. "I'm going to fight to see my dream come true." That's up from the roughly 50 girls who helped found the league in 2015. [according to AdMeter](https://admeter.usatoday.com/2022/05/13/super-bowl-commercial-costs-since-1967/). The group arguing on behalf of girls tackle football appealed the decision and had it remanded, effectively reversing the district court's decision and reinstating the case, the plaintiffs told KSL.com.

New Greensburg Salem football coach Ty George has filled out his staff of assistants for his debut season.

We’re very fortunate to have them guiding our players here at Greensburg Salem.” [Norwin](https://tribhssn.triblive.com/schools/norwin/). He is retaining some of the former staff and bringing in some new faces.

Virginia's new wide receivers coach is Adam Mims, who was a senior offensive analyst on head coach Tony Elliott's staff last season.

“I’m kind of itching for that moment, just to get back out there with them and try to lead them as best I can and teach them everything that I know. But even in the landscape of NIL and social media and everything going on, I think at the end of the day, relationships really win. “I think we’ve got a lot of guys that are eager and hungry to work, to kind of get their name out there, just good kids. We had to play him early as a freshman, but his potential is through the roof.” Mims said he believes his familiarity “with it all—with the players, with this group, with our offense and what we’re doing with Coach Kitchings and the rest of the staff—I think that’s gonna make it a lot easier. I can already tell over the last two weeks that it’s helped out with communication and expectations, that kind of stuff.” “Really, the biggest thing was just the relationship that Coach E and I had for so many years,” Mims said. He was a part of the process of recruiting the guys that we brought in, alongside Marques.” Really, what I love most about him and his family is that I’ve never had to guess who he’s going to be, and he’s shown that day in and day out. The good thing for me is that I’ve been on the field before, for the majority of my career. “That was the majority of what I did last year. In his text message to Hagans, Mims said, “I just thanked him for everything and I told him, ‘Man, I’ve got some big shoes to fill.’ I’m gonna do my very best, that’s for sure.

Four coaches entered the college football season on the hottest seats -- Nebraska's Scott Frost, Auburn's Bryan Harsin, Arizona State's Herm Edwards and Georgia ...

But at 21-16 overall -- and 11-13 in AAC play -- he likely will need to contend for the league title to ensure a fourth full season at the helm of a top Group of 5 job. He went 6-6 in the regular season for the second straight year before guiding Memphis to a win in the First Responder Bowl. We won't get into all of the names above, but the MAC is an especially interesting league to watch, as several changes are possible -- for several reasons. Texas A&M has a lot of new faces in key roles, including offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino, who relieves Fisher as the playcaller. But the Bruins haven't had a true breakthrough under Kelly, who is 27-29 at the school. There's a chance the league has zero firings in the upcoming cycle, as several mid-tier coaches received contract extensions and many are coming off of very good seasons. Very little has gone well for the program since the COVID-19 pandemic hit, as the team is 10-18 in the past three seasons. Indiana: Allen, who is 6-18 in the past two seasons, received a seven-year contract in March 2021. He has a chance to change the trajectory in Morgantown, but it had better happen quickly. Allen is an Indiana native who loves the school and has been a good program ambassador, qualities that can help extend his clock. He's signed through 2026 and would be owed $12.6 million if fired this year, but Texas has the funds if the team backslides this fall. West Virginia: Brown will enter the fall in a similar position as the Frost-Harsin-Edwards-Collins group in 2022.

A Court of Appeals in Denver reinstated the case last month, giving the girls who want tackle football in high school another chance to win the [lawsuit](https://ksltv.com/?p=456698). “A lot of lessons that my girls are learning now are things that were hard for me to learn as a teen. We like to play the game. But now the sky is the limit, and they are thriving,” Charity Lee said. “It’s phenomenal,” she said. It’s another reminder of the debate over formalizing girls tackle football throughout Utah’s public schools. They are nervous to step out, put the helmet on and start hitting somebody. Some of the youngest recruits shared their excitement for the upcoming spring season. “Lots of girls are shy and don’t speak up when they first join the team,” Westlake varsity coach Tyson Monson said. “It’s an empowering feeling,” said Sydnie Lee, a freshman in Orem. It’s something they never would have been included in before; something that wasn’t for them before. It’s full pads — full contact — just like boys football.”

Besancon is a veteran coach with 10 years of head coaching experience and more than 20 years total when adding in assistant coaching stints.

As that comes, we will try and get that level of work as high as we can because that is what it will take, is a lot of work to get to where we want to be. "At New London, he had the best Firelands Conference record in 12 years and the only winning season in 13 years. "Brent was a finalist for the head coaching position before," Rickert said in the release. When I took over Rittman and New London, all I tried to do was make football as enjoyable of an experience as I could for the kids and that will be my main focus going into Madison. "I have been familiar with the area after playing a lot of playoff games in Smithville and I was intrigued by the Madison community," Besancon said. He also coached Lexington head coach Andrew Saris, who spent time as an assistant coach at Madison, when Saris was in high school at Smithville.
