Doubly so when the resignation basically comes right at the start of the college football season.
Ed Cunningham was an ESPN college football analyst, 20 years with the network.
He quit this week, and it is player safety as to why.
Deadspin reports Cunningham was teammates with two prominent CTE victims who committed suicide due to football. Dave Duerson. Andre Waters.
He said this to the New York Times, who reports the full interview here.
It's not a level of a Howard Cosell walking away from boxing for the same reasons, but when you can't even get your own media in line to ignore the risks, the cracks begin to form.
