emmert and i will ask you mr. rolle with your medical focus of you to talk about this issue because i think it's an issue for all level of sports. >> is a critical issue is critical issue that must have lived in a fight with football of course but it's also the cause of concussions for young women in soccer for example. it occurs in virtually every sport. there's a number of things going on and i will be as quick as i can. first of all as i mentioned in my opening comments we created when i first came to the office i was surprised to find out there was the chief medical officer. we went out and hired a wonderful doctor who is a neurologist. he has been working unbelievably hard to pull together first of all the best science. one of the problems is we don't have good science on concussions and is not as well understood as we all might think. once they have done that just this past handful of days they will use the first-ever consensus among all the medical community on the treatment and prevention of concussions especial

thing i want to see is -- i want to headache sure that our athletes are treated well and certainly, mr. rolleyou've done, it's really inspiring to see what you've dope. and thank you, mr. ramsay, as well, for your inspiration of being here. but there's a whole category of athletes that weren't quite at your level that are participating in college sports x it's been an opportunity for them to get an and education for women as well. that are at your level but don't always, our sports don't always generate the same amount of revenue, and i want to make sure that women still have the opportunity they're had because of title ix. so if you could comment on that, i'd appreciate it. >> i would love to comment on that. i think it's not a zero sum game. if some athletes are profit athletes who have a higher market value than the cost of their grant and aid, then we should treat them differently than athletes who are not profit athletes. it's not either/or where they must be. if they're employees, as the nlrb found, then we should treat them as employees. that does not mean that college athletics or ath

mr. rolle, you want to make any final comment? >> sure. one thing that i'd like to say is that when you think about the collarship discussion a lot of players i was on teams with it was kind of like it was us versus them. we didn't feel like the ncaa was protecting our best interests was looking out for us one to see us succeed and thrive and flourish. it was almost as if we had to do everything we could to promote ourselves and better ourselves against this big machine that was dictating and ordering the steps we took. maybe that's not true. maybe it's just a miscommunication, maybe the information wasn't getting disseminated well enough but that's the way we felt. another thing that's why bothersome today going back to the economic struggles a lot of my teammates come from poor areas in florida, and come as the first person in their family to be a college student. they don't have a lot of other money to lead back on, so that leaves them open to unsavely things, these are agencies, nfl runners who would knock on our dorm doors and say, i
