The goal of this paper is to determine if sports related concussions decrease academic success at the college level. Additionally, to explore the relationship between academic rigor and GPA for students with and without concussions. The data on GPA and concussion history was collected via Sport Meds Database and Morgan Academic Center. It was concluded that a sports-concussion injury negatively affects academic success of student-athletes, and those with higher academic rigor to have higher GPAs.
