CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Welcome to today's edition of Starting Blocks TV, hosted by Chuck Yarborough and his hungry co-host, Branson Wright.

Former Ohio State linebacker Andrew Sweat said concussions made him decide to decline a free-agent offer from the Cleveland Browns. Do you think the NFL should be allowed to prohibit players from joining the league if they have suffered multiple concussions? That's the question in today's Starting Blocks poll.

Today's guest on SBTV is Plain Dealer Ohio State reporter Doug Lesmerises, who says Sweat's decision raises all kinds of interesting questions about concussions and football players. Doug also talks about the new Bowl Championship Series playoff discussions, and how the Big Ten is intent on protecting the Rose Bowl in the new format.

SBTV returns Thursday.
