On knee braces. Evidence shows they shift the type of injury, also they do slow them up a bit. I would be in favor of wearing during camp, but then the players might not be comfortable at game-time. You see them in HS ball all of the time. Cost is between $300 and $600 a pair. My guess would be that YSU would not object to a player wearing them, but I understand that they do give a false sense of security.
