We know he did not play baseball this spring but was he eligible to continue to play football after the semester had ended when these grades were used to determine that he was not eligible for baseball? I believe exams were occuring around the time of the last playoff game or the national championship. Maybe he was not truly injured for the game he missed against stout and injury was used as an excuse so coaches and or administration did not have lingering questions about the academics of their starting quarterback as the team headed for the playoffs. There is just alot of pieces to this that have a nauseating potential to fit together.
I haven't read everything here but would like to drop a few things on this post. One is that it would have been impossible for the mentioned athlete to be ineligible for the playoffs or Stagg Bowl. The semester at UWW ended merely days prior to the Stagg Bowl.
Second is that WW nearly lost to Stout so the notion that he wasn't really injured is absurd. Even if they were faking an injury it would make no difference in regard to his eligibility.
