Big Ten Media Days 2015: Head of officials speaks on change to concussion protocol

Everyone remembers the controversy last season regarding the Michigan Wolverines and quarterback Shane Morris against Minnesota. It was clear that some sort of head injury had occurred, yet the coaching staff elected to keep him in the game, along with other issues.

Bill Carollo, the Big Ten's Coordinator of Officiating, spoke on Friday during the conference's media day press conference session and addressed changes they have made to be better prepared for those types of scenarios.

He first spoke on the procedure for spotters in the press box in regards to head injuries and how that reform came out.
