A certain thread has pretty much invented a new topic, far different from the title. So … I decided to try to inject some numbers, rather than anecdotes and “educated guesses.” But that turned out to be impossible. Why? Because -- essentially by design -- there are NO reliable statistics available on college football injuries, and certainly not on a game-by-game basis. That means there can be no reliable answers as to whether or not “playing up” causes more injuries to the lesser team.
Keep on after your 17 pages (or whatever) guys, but, personally, I would save your breath (electrons) for something where you might actually reach a conclusion or consensus. But that’s just me … so, Carry on.
What’s far more interesting is how the decision to allow betting on college football is about to impact injury reports at the college level. Here’s one of several online articles about that issue:

And don’t tell me this won’t impact the FCS level. I have read that one of the most popular bets out there are on the spreads for major “underdog” games -- and that specifically includes FBS-FCS matchups.
