I'm confused. When did the Big 10 hand this over to the NCAA? Didn't the Big 10 sit on it until almost March and then it went to the NCAA? Two months is acting fast when the NCAA is involved.
I haven't been following the story close but everyone has acted like it was a travesty if he didn't get it.
But it reading the article, it sounds like he played in too many games and they wanted him to get a year because he played hurt? That's bull. That's like saying Monte should get an extra year because he played hurt after the Iowa game.

Probably should have went to Kansas State. Would have gotten to play in a better conference and could prepare himself for the NFL
Was a bit of a longshot. If I were him, I'd have gone about as much combine stuff as I could, legally, and hoped for year 5.
He'll probably be okay. Maybe would have been drafted higher if he'd had the Jess Settles year, but should still make the NFL in some way.

Most folks I know didn't think him being denied is a travesty, per se. And note that sports really cannot ever be a travesty (my opinion).
The issue most folks had was with the length of time. He filed the appeal in late November 2015 I believe. Seems like he should have been able to get a final answer before 4/12.
He did. but he and the AD didn't like the answer so they appealed.
Add to that they can't start the process until the respective season is over completely,
Well yeah, Kansas State sucked for a while until the last 5 years. Still would have been better off going to Kansas State and playing against better competition IMO
Probably true, just answering a question on what he could have done better. Playing against better competition in his career could have put him ahead of where he is now. Just my opinion
Sure you're in the NFL, but you're also a Hawk, and that's something you have to live with the rest of your life.
Competition doesn't get much better than going up against an Outland Award Trophy Tackle and #5 NFL Draft Pick everyday in practice.
