Lack of Warmup Boosts Injuries in Football
Dr. Floyd R. Eastwood, chair of the American Football Coaches Association injuries panel, states a 20 year study shows no rise in injuries from abolishing the two platoon system and cites lack of adequate warmup as a greater factor. He notes most fatalities and injuries occur in the first five minutes after a player enters a game and that a college player remains in concentrated action for about 12 minutes.

Frank McCormick a western member of the NCAA football rules committee explained the abolition of the two platoon system citing financial borders and savings. He cited a large university coach at St Petersburg estimating 35000 to 40000 saved and said many schools cut football due to the system. He warned younger coaches will struggle with planning and adapting to single platoons and face anxious moments until they gain experience next season.
