Kevin Guskiewicz was at Carolina in the 1990s.
The University's chancellor told a gathering of Tar Heel alumni and friends Friday evening in Charlotte of meeting Coach Mack Brown in 1995 when Guskiewicz came to Chapel Hill as a professor of Exercise and Sports Science. He wanted to use the football program as a laboratory of sorts for cutting-edge research into concussions in the sport of football, a request that Brown green-lighted. That program has since become the template for equipment, rules and technique changes from the NFL down to Pop Warner.
