Mailbag question: Scholarship count and injury

If an established player suffers a career ending injury do we honor that scholarship and if so, does it count against our allotment of 85?

Secondly, if we offer a scholarship to a high school Senior who subsequently becomes injured, would we generally honor that scholarship?

Thanks for the question.

There is an exemption for players who suffer career ending injury. They are allowed to finish school for free, but do not count against the 85 scholarship count.

High School kids are a bit different. If the injury can be rehabbed most schools will honor.

If they cannot be rehabbed it is unlikely the scholarship would be honored.

One of the things that really impressed us this spring was former offensive guard Zirbel out at practices and acting as a graduate assistant.
