Academic stress -> more injuries

So the 2012 team that had a very low injury rate wasn't stressed academically? Stanford has had an extremely low injury rate the half decade at least. Are they not academically stressed at Stanford?

There are three possible reasons why I think our injury rate was high:
Strength and conditioning program
Recruiting players with injury concerns
Recruiting undersized players and telling them to gain weight quickly. (MrCat has told me this isn't it and he probably knows something about that).

Could it be that during exam weeks, players are getting less sleep? I think there are probably a bunch of studies on amount of sleep and injures but not why they are getting less sleep. And it isn't just the studying but also nerves that keep the athlete from getting the rest he/she needs. Lack of adequate rest also causes loss of focus and that could lead to injuries

Since this article presents evidence of injuries time around final or mid term exams, can someone tell me if the NU quarter system would be more or less risk?

And could there be any coorelation to the timing of practices at or around exams. Do nu players still practice in the morning and if so, has fitz always had them practice in the morning?
The study in the article was significant enough insomuch that a protocol was suggested to altar the practice schedule in recognition of major test times.
Dont coaches already do that?
