Texas A&M Prof Says All Heat Strokes Are Preventable

At least 40 football players have died in the last 20 years due to heat stroke, but a Texas A&M University health professor says every one could be preventable. He notes: “We know so much more than we did 50 years ago. In the old days, many coaches tried to toughen up their players in the heat. If Bear Bryant were alive today and did some of the things that he did during the famous ‘Junction Boys’ era, he would probably be run out of coaching and most likely be sued.”
