Too bad, as I'd really hoped he could push for playing time. But I certainly can't blame him for putting health concerns above the game.

This probably explains why we just recruited two different QBs for next year's recruiting class....

Per his bio he is out of Mentor, majoring in Exercise Physiology. Hope he stays with Ohio and finishes his studies. He is a young man I enjoyed following. Seems like a young person who has excelled at the game, but, will be just fine away from the game.

It is the right decision. However he was 2-3 years away from any possibility of seeing the field because our offense is loaded.

There are two quotes I want to point out in that article.
Cleveland.com wrote:
Conner sustained a concussion in Ohio's spring game in April and the team's doctors recommended that he give up football.


cleveland.com wrote:
Conner will get to stay on scholarship and he will help out as a strength and conditioning assistant coach.

The University treated him very fairly. When he had the concussion, they didn't throw him back in, and risk more injuries, and they didn't just kick him out the door. They recommended he give up the game, and they continued to pay his scholarship, and found a way that he could continue to help the team.

Here we are reading L.C.'s documentation of a responsible/caring relationship between a player and the university.

So is he now on a just a general University scholarship and Ohio has one more open for football? I wouldn't think you'd be allowed to give a non-player a football scholarship per NCAA rules.

My understanding is that he would no longer count against the 85.

Just a spurious thought. I wonder if his medical condition would prohibit his playing basketball. His basketball resume is pretty impressive. He may just want to stop playing all sports, and that might be the smartest thing to do, but I was left wondering about both his basketball eligibility and whether or not he would have medical clearance for that sport. Unfortunately, modern college basketball is more a contact sport than ever these days . . . .

I believe if a player is "medically disqualified," he is ineligible to play any sport. He still receives his scholarship but it does not count toward the school's total. Medically disqualified athletes sometimes are asked to assist the athletic department in some other way since they no longer are able to play. Of course, this can be beneficial to the student's career anyway.

Funny, when I was verifying information regarding medical disqualification, I came across this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/25/sports/a-fight-to-keep-...

It mentions an Ohio player, Joe Whitehead, who in 2000 was medically disqualified because of a neck injury. The university was not going to renew the scholarship the next year but gave in to pressure and did so after all.

Ohio has now lost two players this year (Krizancic, Provitt) who have quit after having concussions. I don't consider this a bad thing; I think it's good that the safety and long term health of the players comes first. I presume that this is happening elsewhere, as well. It needs to, if football is to continue.
