If there is ever a strong correlation between sub-concussive injury and CTE and no genetic predisposition to CTE then the sport of football may have numbered days.
Think the key phrase to keep in mind is "never diagnosed with a concussion". Did the athlete in high school and youth sports have access to health care providers? But Kev is right, if a correlation is established football as we know it will cease to exist.
