[QUOTE="89illinigrad, post: 1194283, member: 6898"] Maybe it isn't that cut and dried. [URL="http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/tam/genrel/auto_pdf/comp101-2-medical-hardships.pdf"]According to this website[/URL], it is actually the conference office that determines the medical hardship, but the school can appeal to the NCAA for a waiver of the medical hardship rule. Per the website: "For those cases that do not meet the requirements of the medical hardship rule, such as a student-athlete that competed beyond 20% of the season only because of medical misdiagnosis, an institution always has the option of requesting that its conference apply to the Administrative Review Subcommittee of the NCAA for a waiver of the medical hardship rule. To be successful in such an application, the conference must show that granting the request is in the overall benefit of the student-athlete, is consistent with the intent of the medical hardship waiver and does not provide the institution with a competitive advantage."
