Was it over when James English bombed Pearl Harbor?!?
Kemerer to have season ending surgery

Agreed. The language dictates that the committee is free to consider individual cases that may not meet the two year threshold in the 5-Year Waiver, so there's basically a window open that allows that ambiguity. What circumstances dictate their decision to do so is not transparent at all to the public. That could do with some clarification, if in fact it is happening more now - whether it is, in reality, only the NCAA knows. I understand that the individual cases made will never be transparent for privacy reasons.
The medical is another thing altogether and it seems that the criteria is set according to published documentation. If that criteria is not being adhered to or has changed, that should absolutely be communicated publicly. But we don't really know that this is happening because of above.
Truth. I can feel the major injuries I've had playing sports and see the scars from those days, too. The pain does catch up to you.
I have an annoying finger joint that locks my index finger at the second knuckle fairly regularly. Can still remember when I first dislocated it - took us about 30 minutes under ice cold water to snap it back in. My 11 year old self looked on in horror at the wacky angle it had taken
Right shoulder - wrestling (at age 28)
Left pectoral muscle - wrestling (at age 38)
Right knee - football and wrestling
Right shin - two cleat dents from over-40 soccer
Maybe I just should have stopped at a younger age. Lol.

Aka Swan Neck Deformity. I had three fingers with this, two are surgically repaired. One comes out of joint on full extension.

My buddy who wrestled D1, just had a full knee replacement done in October. Last year was rotator cuff surgery. I think he said he has been under the knife for varying things 9 or 10 times in his life, all for sport related injuries.
his body at 47 yo is just starting to really break down, but for others it comes earlier or later, which I think has a lot to do with training and certainly genetics......but it seems to always come

Interesting comment. I know others, in their 50's and 60's who bike, hike, even do Iron Man Triathlons and half or full marathons, and other such activities. Aches and pains yes, but not debilitating. Seems like a wide, wide range of later-year health.
I also have an uncle and a cousin dead at 38 and 42 from heart attacks. it is what it is.
So sorry about your losses. Going young is sad, I don't have to look further than my own family to see some of the same, mostly cancer, but really young. Back to the discussion, just pointing out that wrestling-related ailments later in life are varied. Getting older ain't for sissies, I was told.
True, English became an All-American, his points put PSU over the top that year. He has a great memory and accomplishment to look back on for the rest of his life. OTOH, what is the long term cost? His back was in pretty bad shape then, what is it now, and what will it be in 10, 20 years? Something to consider.
I coach track at my daughter's high school. The AD asked if I could help with the wrestling team, they have revolving coaches every year. Heart wanted to say yes, head immediately kicked in and said NO. I have a friend who is a former D1 wrestler, he has stepped on the mat twice in the last five years to demonstrate moves and go a little live, torn labrum, torn hip flexor, surgery both times. At 52, wise decision to say no. Now landing on that big soft high jump mat, no problem.
A number of years ago I met a 94 year-old gentleman who lifted and ran regularly, and I mean lifted and ran with a dedicated effort. He mentioned several times about being in training and I ask training for what. His answer stays with me. "I am 94 years old. Son I train every day preparing for tomorrow."
I got really enthused at age 38 because that summer I wrestled and beat a kid who was a regional champ in NJ. I read about a master's tournament later that summer. I entered and in my first match my arm got caught in an odd position while riding my opponent and my pectoral muscle ripped. The only consolation was I was winning the match when I defaulted. Lol. That was my last competitive wrestling.
wish the best for this young man! maybe with the new transfer rules and can transfer next year to PSU, drop back to 157 a fill Nolfs spot next year?????
I had to add something to this thread for the the Hawks to jump on..
Sorry

Good idea, Tom Brands would never prevent someone from transferring and certainly wouldn't want to see the B1G force him to lose a year of eligibility. Maybe the NLWC can send the Kemerer's a proposal.
