I haven't noticed a decline in my area schools, but I am surprised at the schools that are having a hard time fielding teams. I'm especially surprised by Timpanogos. It is a big school in Orem. Yeah, it's football team is terrible, but how do you not have enough students to field all the teams with a student body of 1400.

age 28, same age as mike trout today. imagine trout leaving the game today.
Mike Trout left the game today, he'd be about a week late, since yesterday is when the world learned he gets to uses HGH for a thyroid condition.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

In recorded medical literature, there are no documented cases of someone developing CTE from a single concussion.
At any rate.
What this comes down to is that there are mental risks one assumes when playing football. They are likely less than those associate with Boxing, and definitely less than Omalus claim that every NFL player suffers from CTE.
Unfortunately Omalu is going to become the Red Herring that defenders beat up on now because of his snake oil salesman approach to this. Hopefully the guy disappears from the CTE scene. His sensationalism helped raise awareness but is only going to be counter-productive at this point. Hopefully there are some good comprehensive studies that come out soon that help make the level of risks more clear.
