INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -A new membership rule will require all Division II schools to file a concussion-management plan beginning this fall.
The Division II President Council approved the change Thursday. The executive committee approved the policy in April, and the new rule will take effect Monday.
The plan must ensure that appropriate medical personnel assist with the evaluation and care given to student-athletes who have concussions. The council also hopes it will help student-athletes understand the responsibility they have to accurately report illnesses and injuries, including concussions.
