Reply To: Mason Halter Situation – Fordham

[Bison137Participant]

note that this is only Halter’s 4th year of football, so he did not need any kind of waiver to play at Florida. To play in the PL, however, he would have needed a hardship waiver since a 5th year is not automatic, as it is under NCAA rules. Possibly Fordham didn’t put it in or possibly his mono wasn’t serious enough to prevent him from playing for 100% of the 2012 season.

Note also that the decision that a player qualifies for another year as a medical hardship case normally is made by the league, per the NCAA bylaws.
