Cam's figured out that the best years of your life are in college and making it last as long as possible.

Poor guy cannot stay on the field. He came back last Saturday and was injured in the very first series.

That's a little misleading... you can get a Medical Redshirt to have your games not count against your 4 years of eligibility, but you still have to appeal to the NCAA and have them extend the 5 year part of that rule (you have 5 years to play 4). It's a two part thing and this case you'd need both extensions. It would be interesting to see if the NCAA would grant an 8th year to play 4 in this case.

Last year of eligibility is the 8th in question...?

Needs to finish up his doctorate and get out in the real world!

Why not? If they are gonna let him play that long, why not stay and get as much as possible.

Free room and board, admiring co-eds, NIL money - why rush into the real world?

At this rate, Rising will be lucky to “rise up” out of a wheelchair!
