I read something a while ago that suggested that the increase in ligament tears is a result of players getting bigger/stronger/faster. Muscles get bigger and stronger by working out year round but ligaments don't: they take on more stress but can't handle it. And so they tear more readily than they did when players were slower and smaller.
