Abstract
In brief: To better delineate the quality of medical care of intercollegiate football teams, a questionnaire was mailed to all colleges in the United States that participated in intercollegiate football programs. Out of 686 questionnaires, 449 (65.5%) were returned. The questionnaire was designed to solicit in-depth information about the involvement of physicians and trainers in the health care of the football players. The team members of the larger, more prestigious schools generally received excellent care. However, the medical care for most of the remainder of the schools was considered inadequate.
