So DaJon didn't make the trip

[Army of Dad]

I guarantee Dan McCarney is smarter at football than everyone on this board. Dajon Williams will get a medical hardship waiver and have four years of eligibility remaining. He knows what he is doing (except when he is too committed to the running game).

History shows the NCAA hasn't always been kind to UNT...

I would assume they have already looked into getting the waiver and had some indication that it would go through. Im sure the paperwork has been filed. If it gets denied, expect to see dajon play at the end of the year with more coach speak.

Here is a bylaw of interest that may apply to Dajon or any other athlete down the road, and I'll update the Waiver thread with this as well.

14.2.6.3 Extenuating Circumstances. Extenuating circumstances include, but are not limited to, the fol- lowing: (Adopted: 4/25/02 effective 8/1/02)

(a) The student-athlete failed to complete the entire season of competition at the institution as a result of

a life-threatening injury or illness suffered by a member of the student-athletes immediate family, that clearly is supported by contemporaneous medical documentation; (Adopted: 4/25/02 effective 8/1/02, Revised: 10/28/04)

(b.) The student-athlete failed to complete the entire season of competition at the institution as a result of extreme financial difficulties as a result of a specific event (e.g., layoff, death in family) experienced by the student-athlete or an individual upon whom the student-athlete is legally dependent and prohibited the student-athlete from participating in intercollegiate athletics. These circumstances must be clearly supported by objective documentation (e.g., decree of bankruptcy, proof of termination) and must be beyond the control of the student-athlete or the individual upon whom the student-athlete is legally dependent; (Adopted: 4/25/02 effective 8/1/02, Revised: 10/28/04)

(c.) The student-athletes institution dropped the sport (in which the student practiced or competed) from its intercollegiate program. (Adopted: 4/25/02 effective 8/1/02)

I call it a hardship waiver.

Too bad Manu (??) didn't fit under the extreme family hardship waiver.

For those of you that think these things are automatic, there is a recent example for you.
