Well, the media keeps publishing all of the requests & not the facts, so I am pulling from ncaa.org. It is a copy paste so sorry about the format but I wanted the exact wording:
The injury or illness occurs prior to the
first competition of the second half of
the playing season that co
ncludes with the NCAA championship in that sport
(see Bylaw 14.2.4.3.4) and results in incapaci
ty to compete for the remainder of
that playing season;
o
In team sports, the injury or illness
occurs when the student-athlete has not
participated in more than three contests
or dates of competition (whichever is
applicable to that sport) or 30 percen
t (whichever number is greater) of the
institution's scheduled or completed contests
or dates of competition in his or her
sport.
A student-athlete who suffers an
injury in the first half of th
e season that concludes with the
NCAA championship or who suffers an injury subs
equent to the first day of classes in his or
her senior year of high school attempts to retu
rn to competition during th
e second half of that
season and then is unable to par
ticipate further as a result of aggravating the original injury
does not qualify for the hardship waiver.
[14.2.4.3.5]
So we have to worry about two things for Hunter:
1) Dates he played. If we are allowed to show incomplete games then we are okay and this has been done in the past.
2) If any participation came in the second half, was it the same injury.
