Nice to see a college football program step up and honor their scholarship offer when one of their verbal commitments is diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma just before National Signing Day.

No disrespect intended to Idaho, but the fact is he will basically be on "injured reserve" with the NCAA rules on long term injuries, and won't count toward their scholarship limit. Financially, it is a great gesture.

Quite a contrast from the Joe Mixon story. The NCAA should give this kid medical redshirt, and can the Sooner supetstar RB IMHO.

School would. Its a nice gesture and wins points in the PR arena.

Guess what? The head coach who decided on this is Bobby Petrino's brother, Paul. Talk about polar opposites.
