Drew Ott's appeal for another year with a medical hardship waiver was denied today. I would feel bad for the kid if he wasn't going to the NFL. Instead I'll be happy that he isn't playing against Iowa State while he instead goes and collects millions of dollars.
It seemed like a longshot all along:

It seemed like a longshot all along:
Guidelines allow for Ott to receive a fifth year -- he has not redshirted -- if he played in 30 percent (or less) of his team’s games in the year at stake and did not compete after the midpoint of the season.
Ott meets the second criteria but not the first. Iowa has asked the Big Ten to consider that Ott dislocated his elbow in Week 2 against Iowa State and played a limited role over the next month.
