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

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

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

Have you not seen the shit the NCAA has 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?

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
