This signals quite a bit about his character and mental makeup. Don't know if we acknowledge... but he is losing money if this ends up true.
That’s why they call it practice
This really shouldn't be too much of a surprise that has been around and worked with kids like Ty. I have coached kids with same type of drive and determination. Those types can obliterate the common timelines more than the normal person and even the normal athlete.
Ty got hurt. Yada. Yada. Yada. He is coming back.
This pretty much sums it up.../s
If he comes back, he would presumably get NIL money for this year and next year (true senior) instead of sitting this year and getting NIL for this year, next year, and medical redshirt year.
Some but mostly boredom and lack of info...normal board stuff...
In the past players have been grandfathered to not get negatively impacted by rule changes, so I'd think he'd keep two years if he skipped.
The best-case scenario sounds like he could return sometime in January. He redshirted last year because he didn't want to take a bench role while he was improving his game. Why would he use up a year of eligibility this season to play less games while coming back from injury?
I would think it might come down to how much of the season he misses. “Back for most of the Big 10 season” could be mid December.
