I suppose you could look at this from another angle and respect all the effort put into making a case for the Robbie Hummel Eligilbility Endurance Cup, but then that might be giving some credence to what seems to be winning on a slightly warped interpretation of the rule from my understanding anyway.

I would like to know if the NCAA is knowingly breaking their own rule, or MSU is lying to them. Either way looks bad on the NCAA because a Google search would show them he doesn't deserve a 6th year. That being said I don't agree with the rule anyway and think it should be changed. We do have one open scholarship I believe, Harbuagh should apply for a ojemudia 6th year today and cite this situation.

I mean, at this point whatever.  I won't bedgrudge a guy a chance to play another year, but it's how arbitrary it feels that bothers me.  Maybe Davis was hurt for 2 years, maybe not.  But there seems like enough evidence that he wasn't to justify the opposite decision, and yet nothing will come out about how they came to this decision.  So at some point in the future, UM will need to apply for a 6th year for somebody, point to Davis's case, and be told "Nope" and there won't be any real consistency.

Mark Dantonio lie on an application?  The next thing you're going to tell me is that he lets imprisoned players back on the field immediately to play against Michigan.......
