Great idea. Ban the exact thing that half the team is supposed to do when out on the field.

They don't offer athletic scholarships in the IVY, so just eliminate the sport then conference wide.

My guess is that our Huskers go full contact about 40-50% of what they did 20 years ago in practice...

Just another case of people reacting before there is actual evidence to support their decision. CTE data is not solid enough to support a move this drastic.

Remember a regional D3 power St John's of MN didn't tackle or hit IIRC for most the the time a legendary coach was there and had a ton of wins. That is D3 however
