Kind of BS they don’t have a required TAT for a situation where the guy otherwise needs to hire an agent and try to go UDFA route.

It's the NCAA. At this point, nothing is surprising.

 

[NDFAN4LIFE2008]

If the MSU LB got a 7th year I don't see how Onye wouldn't get a 6th.

 

[RudyVerse]

Per ISD, Onye's camp wants to go to the NFL if possible but NFL would like to see another year (duh).

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

I’ll save everyone the time: request denied.

He told Eric Hansen at Rivals awhile back that he’d love to come back

2021 RS
2022 1 game on 11/19.
'23,'24,'25 all count

Unless there was an injury in one of those 1st 2 years. I don't think there's much of a chance.
*and there shouldn't be.

 

[ndfanatic78]

Have you not seen the shit the NCAA has let slide with players coming back?

 

[slick7410]

Have you not seen the shit the NCAA ac as let slide with players coming back?

Oh I agree. By rule he shouldn’t. I wonder if other teams submit it differently or in a disingenuous way, create an injury that didn’t exist?

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Oh I agree. By rule he shouldn’t. I wonder if other teams submit it differently or in a disingenuous way, create an injury that didn’t exist?

The only hope is if he’s a groundbreaking case to set a new precedent in counting mental health as an “injury”. I think that would be a good thing regardless of how it helps ND

 

[ulukinatme]

Certainly true, but rarely if ever in ND's favor.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

We're the only program they seem to enforce any rules with.
That or we're the only one's who obey.

This should be presented as an inevitable outcome and the right time to set that precedent is immediately.

 

[KMac151993]

They need to 100% make this about that...if the NCAA rules against it then ND comes out and says the NCAA doesn't care about mental health.

 

[T-Boone]

Did he miss a season due to mental health issues?

 

[Riddickulous]

Did he miss a season due to mental health issues?

Most of last season.

 

[T-Boone]

On his ND profile it says he played 5 games in 2024. Isn't 4 the max?

Yes. A waiver could still be issued, although it seems unlikely. There might be a scenario where the NCAA wants to appear sensitive to mental health issues and could increase the chances that Onye gets a waiver.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Yes. A waiver could still be issued, although it seems unlikely. There might be a scenario where the NCAA wants to appear sensitive to mental health issues and could increase the chances that Onye gets a waiver.

And ND, if they really wanted to push it, could find a way to circulate this to create pressure but I doubt they will.

 

[Crazy Balki]

Yeah, this waiver is getting passed. There's zero chance the NCAA tempt fate with something as sensitive as mental health.

That is a can of worms that would best remain unopened.

 

[T-Boone]

He should sue NCAA for eligibility and randomly subpoena the playoff committee's notes and ESPN's phone records.

 

[ThePiombino]

Yeah, this waiver is getting passed. There's zero chance the NCAA tempt fate with something as sensitive as mental health.

That is a can of worms that would best remain unopened.

I find your complete lack of consideration for the NCAA's historical handling of all things Notre Dame disturbing.

Those didn't involve mental health.

It’s involving a ND player. Nothing is guaranteed. If he was uneducated piece of trash from the SEC it would have been approved all ready.

 

[Dale]

“Of those, 25 cases cited an incapacitating injury (nine in football). The NCAA approved 15 of those (six in football), and all 15 provided medical documentation from the time of the injury.”

 

[Dale]

Whatever happened with Onye last year, ND better have documented it to see a waiver approved


EDIT: didn’t see other thread had same convo

 

[NDPhilly]

So 30%-40% chance of needing a new starting caliber DT lol?

 

[lefty5258]

Imo, key difference here is:
“Additionally, the student-athlete’s prior school indicated it had no documentation on medical treatment, injury reports or medical conditions involving the student-athlete during that time frame and cited “developmental needs and our team’s competitive circumstances” as its reason the student-athlete did not play in the 2022-23 season.”

Onye was playing before his mental health struggles, which would indicate medical cause for his inability to play.

My thoughts too. I don’t know the story but reading between the lines it was a mental battle. I assume he was struggling before he stopped playing and thus playing “injured”. As long as the university can show he was getting help while playing, and it became too much so he stopped, I don’t see how the NCAA can deny.
