This will get ugly, but in the end, I hope the sport can prevail. I would like to see
school budgets adjusted accordingly for the best equipment. In May of 2013, Virginia
Tech and Wake Forest did a helmet evaluation. The top 4 helmets on the market that
provide a reduction in the risk for concussion are Riddell's 360, Rawlings Quantum Plus,
Xenith X2, and Riddell Revolution Speed. These range from $265 to $375. The Riddell
360 has the best rating overall ( 5 Stars with a Star Value of 0.239). The Star Value
has to do with the risk of concussion. Therefore, the overall quality rating of 5 Stars
combined with the lowest Star Value of 0.239 makes the Riddell 360 the best on the
market at a price of $375.

How many schools are investing in top of line equipment and have a Riddell 360 helmet?
Which schools supply any of the 4 mentioned?

Just some thoughts.......
