I wouldn’t go as far as banning all youth football. I’d say anything before high school would be a good idea. Then scrap things like full contract practices, hitting drills, etc.
I don’t have the study but I remember reading hitting in practice caused the most long term damage. It’s not the big hits but the constant little hits that build up year after year after year
