Will there be any consequences for Arizona violating the NCAA concussion policy?

The NCAA's concussion policy is called a "policy" for a reason:  it is neither a playing rule nor a bylaw.

No enforcement mechanism is attached to an NCAA "policy," so if the Arizona training staff put their player in danger, they are only answerable to the player and to the University, but not to the NCAA.

I read that article yesterday.  It's a hit piece full of misinformation and half-truths.  One example is the "puking multiple times"  myth.  He puked on the field, then used water on the sidelines to wash his mouth out and spit it out.  He wasn't continuously vomiting.  Using words like "devastating"  when describing the hit is a sign that somebody has an agenda.  

Regardless, they went over this in their presser yesterday.  It was 95+ on the field, Scott said he has thrown up before when running a lot in those type of conditions, was nauseous all day, etc.  What really matters is that he was ultimately found to not have a concussion anyway.  He practiced yesterday.  LOL @ the hyperbolic "obviously the handling of this will have consequences for all of college football" nonsense.  Next time you should do a little research before taking Rosenberg Jr. at face value.  

"“I really don’t think I had a concussion,” he said. “I got winded, honestly — that’s why I threw up.”

What sounds like an excuse comes with some context.

Scott is famous among his teammates for throwing up during hot practices or while running sprints. The quarterback said he felt nauseous three or four plays before taking the hit Saturday but managed to keep his breakfast down.

“But eventually,” he said, “it came up.”"

I'll admit that I love me some RR, but I watched this all unfold and I have no justification for it. I did not see him throw up, but I saw that he was shaken after the helmet to the head (not a kick, I don't think). Even if Rich missed it, someone on the sideline must have seen it. Play was stopped because there was a penalty for the illegal hit. There was time for some evaluation. The problem is that it was critical to finish the drive and score the touchdown. I do not think they could have won without Matt scoring that final touchdown. And of course, it was a critical game against USC. I, too, am disappoint.

Conversely, I have not admired Brian Kelly, but I cannot think of a better example of good policy than when he sat out Golson for an extra week after his injury with their undefeated season on the line.

edit: I am glad to see in the comment from cbus above that there was no concussion. It still would have been a reassuring demonstration of judgment to see him put the safety of his players above winning the most important (to him) game in years. 

to keep Scott in the game for the drive at the end of the game after USC's touchdown when they needed first downs?  That was absolutely a critical series-- and they pulled Scott after doing a more careful evaluation of him.  They managed to pick up a first down or two anyway, but there chances of winning would have been dramatically increased if they had the threat of a QB run or even a throw (they didn't when the backup came in-- think Russell Bellomy but slower).  

That certainly wouldn't have happened at MSU.  Scott goes right back in to close the game.

Since the link started with an ad, I won't watch it.

White Lightening does not even remember playing for Michigan. Where was the outrage then?

Concussion evaluation is always somewhat subjective. As is, the criteria for declaring a player unfit for play seem too loose.

I have a nd idea:

Put sensors in their helmets. If the recorded impact exceeds a certain number, they are out for the rest of the game.

I'm going to patent it, and make a fortune.

When you refer to "White LIghtening" are you talking about Ricky Leach?  If so, I had not heard that he had no memory of playing for Michigan.  If not, who are you talking about?

I had not heard that Leach had severe memory loss.  If so that is very, very sad.
