Ewell does have a lot going on.

that we're using the medical scholarships for kids with legitimate medical issues.

"Isn't really good at football right now" isn't a medical issue. "Can't crack the two deep," "doesn't want to work," "wants to play a different position" are also not valid reasons IMO.

note--I have no idea why this kid is getting a medical scholarship at this point. My point is one of a bigger picture nature.

as the one for obtaining waivers for immediate eligibility after a transfer.

reason to stay on scholarship if you are no longer on the team? I'm not aware of one.

for a recruited scholarship player to leave the team, stay on scholarship, and not count against the limit of 85.

with the NCAA, reports from Team MD's, Trainers, etc or players personal MD's/Trainers to get the Medical Waiver?

It offers a player an opportunity to finish his degree if he is unable to play up to his potential due to injury or recurring injuries. This would include guys like Cory Robinson who could have played but chose not to do so due to concussion issues. We had a linebacker who took a medical last year, kid from Pittsburgh I believe. He could have probably given it a go but again I think it was a recurring injury and he chose to move on from Football.

I don't know what Ewell's injury is, I tried finding out but I couldn't find out what it was. But unless this is a total fabrication, like a Workers Comp Scam, I am totally ok with him saying No Mas Coach I don't want to play anymore and moving him to a medical hardship, even if maybe he could have played if he worked hard on his rehab and stuff like that.

The full freight at ND and be okay financially.

Isn’t a good one either
