does anyone know if there is any interest, discussion or effort to appeal to the ncaa for an additional year for Stephen Davis?? it seems like he has been sidelined with injury almost his entire time here. having a chance to see what he is capable of this year having another season with the him would sure be nice. I am not sure exactly what needs to be shown to the ncaa for them to consider the possibility.

He's been in college an awfully long time - he may not even want to stay for a 6th year. He may be ready to start making some $$ To your point though Keith, I'd love to see him play another full year since he is just now knocking the rust off and showing what he has always been capable of. No idea if that option has been explored though. So basically I have nothing to contribute...

I was told at the last radio show that he is going to petition the NCAA for a 6th year of eligibility. I have no idea what his chances.are.

Here is the bylaw language from the NCAA regarding sixth years:
NCAA Bylaw 30.6.1 – Waiver Criteria
A waiver of the five-year period of eligibility is designed to provide a student-athlete with the opportunity to participate in four seasons of intercollegiate competition within a five-year period. This waiver may be granted, based upon objective evidence, for reasons that are beyond the control of the student-athlete or the institution, which deprive the student-athlete of the opportunity to participate for more than one season in his/her sport within the five-year period. The Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement reserves the right to review requests that do not meet the more-than-one-year criteria detailed in this bylaw for circumstances of extraordinary or extreme hardship. A student-athlete who has exhausted his or her five years of eligibility may continue to practice (but not compete) for a maximum of 30 consecutive calendar days, provided the student-athlete’s institution has filed such a request. Further, if such a request is denied prior to exhausting the 30 day practice period, the student-athlete must cease all practice activities upon the institution’s notification of the denial.
NCAA Bylaw 30.6.1.1 – Circumstances Beyond Control
Circumstances considered to be beyond the control of the student-athlete or the institution and do not cause a participation opportunity to be used shall include, but are not limited to, the following:
(a) Situations clearly supported by contemporaneous medical documentation, which states that a student-athlete is unable to participate in intercollegiate competition as a result of incapacitating physical or mental circumstances;
(b) The student-athlete is unable to participate in intercollegiate athletics as a result of a life-threatening or incapacitating injury or illness suffered by a member of the student-athlete’s immediate family, which clearly is supported by contemporaneous medical documentation;
(c) Reliance by the student-athlete upon written, contemporaneous, clearly erroneous academic advice provided to the student-athlete from a specific academic authority from a collegiate institution regarding the academic status of the student-athlete or prospective student-athlete, which directly leads to that individual not being eligible to participate and, but for the clearly erroneous advice, the student-athlete would have established eligibility for intercollegiate competition;
(d) Natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes, flood); and
(e) Extreme financial difficulties as a result of a specific event (e.g. layoff, death in the family) experienced by the student-athlete or by an individual upon whom the student-athlete is legally dependent, which must prohibit the student-athlete from participating in intercollegiate athletics. These circumstances must be clearly supported by objective documentation (e.g., decree of bankruptcy, proof of termination) and must be beyond the control of the student-athlete or the individual upon whom the student-athlete is legally dependent.
NCAA Bylaw 30.6.1.2 – Circumstances Within Control
Circumstances that are considered to be within the control of the student-athlete or the institution and cause a participation opportunity to be used include, but are not limited to, the following:
(a) A student-athlete’s decision to attend an institution that does not sponsor his/her sport, or decides not to participate at an institution that does sponsor his/her sport;
(b) An inability to participate due to failure to meet institutional/conference or NCAA academic requirements, or disciplinary reasons or incarceration culminating in or resulting from a conviction;
(c) Reliance by a student-athlete upon misinformation from a coaching staff member;
(d) Redshirt year;
(e) An inability to participate as a result of a transfer year in residence or fulfilling a condition for restoration eligibility; and
(f) A student-athlete’s lack of understanding regarding the specific starting date of his or her five-year period of eligibility.
And with all that, just as BBJones said, we have no idea what his chances are.

I was told that the 1 issue that may hurt his chances was his participation in the last game of the season his Sophomore year, the year of his injury. He played 10 minutes in that game and then came out due to the injury. That 10 minutes may come back to bite him in the butt.

I would be shocked if the NCAA gave him that 6th year, that being said I hope for his sake if he would like to stay that he is able to. As long as he has been here he may be Dr. Davis by the time his career ends

bbj, it is good to hear they are pursuing it. I would bet you remember t. j. lux, maybe from northern Illinois. it seems like he was playing against us for a decade. hopefully they will have success. I cannot seem to find career stats for our guys. does anyone know how many games he has played in for the raiders?

Keith, I'm glad you mentioned TJ Lux. After I posted my comments about Steven Davis getting a 6th year, I was trying to remember the guy from Northern Illinois who got 6 years. I couldn't remember his name but I thought if I could just talk to you that you would know who it was. And just like clock work here you are with your post.

Last night on the coaches show they informed the fans that Mark Hughes has not 1 but 2 sprained ankles. One was more severe than the other and one foot was in a walking boot. They do not expect him to play or even travel to Wisconsin this weekend. Hope Mark gets better quickly. On a side note, has anyone ever heard of a player spraining both ankles in the same play?

yes. I've seen it happen that a player jumps and lands on the outside of both feet. Hughes injury happened about 8 feet from me. It was a clean foul but when he landed he was really off balance and his ankles were both turned with toes in. He was in a lot of pain immediately. Hope he recovers quickly and the rehab is easy on him.

I watched the replay of that play last night. Mark stepped on the foot of a YSU player on his drive to the basket and rolled his ankle. Then he rolled the other one when he landed.

Bad sprained ankle is usually at least 4 weeks for recovery - I wouldn't anticipate having Mark for a good chunk of season. Hopefully I'm wrong but it will be a while before he can walk normally without even thinking about running/jumping/cutting. I'm sure he's in good hands for rehab though.
