The Ivy League's new concussion public service announcement will make its national television debut this Saturday as part of the FS1 broadcast of the Princeton at Penn men's basketball game scheduled for a 4:30 p.m. tipoff.

The Ivy LeagueGreen Alert Take: Kudos to the Ivy League for being on the front lines in the concussion fight.

Leaders in concussion prevention
Leaders in concussion management
Leaders in concussion research
because it's the smart thing to do.
