Ninth year of eligibility? This can't be real, can it?

Oregon TE granted a 9th year of eligibility. Please tell me this is a joke.

Yeah, tough luck being injured that much, but he redshirted as a freshman and there have been a lot of players in the past who have had bad luck with injuries. This is ridiculous.

Don’t give Jordan Bohanon any ideas.

Lots of people go to college for 9 years

His bio at OU ... Redshirted as freshman in 2016. Played full season as RS Freshman 2017. Then season-ending injuries thereafter, almost all early in season, so I'm guessing he was able to use injury redshirt each time.

Well, he does have bachelor's and master's, so he's been using the time well academically.

Pretty cool to be working on his 2nd PhD though.

Someone needs to sit him down and tell him it’s time to move on.

Meh it's evident he's not going pro, if he can get his schooling paid for more power to him.

I would agree if he was striving to get his Doctorate. But the article mentioned taking yoga classes and maybe get an internship. Why not just make the leap and get a full time job. Dudes at least 26!

Perry Ellis proved you can look 50 and still graduate in four years.

Harder to hit on college freshmen when you have a full time job.

I think the NCAA should be more like NAIA. You get four years to play as long as you haven’t went pro. If you went to school and didn’t participate in a sport and at 32 you say hey I wish I would have and I think I can, go give it a whirl.

I don’t understand why people would care? Seems cool for him, he’s hardly been able to play from the sound of it.

Don't care, but spending 8 years at 1 school seems funny.

There is a negative. I believe, even with the injury exemption, he is taking a scholarship that a HS senior could get.

My freshman year there was a guy on my dorm floor who was a junior. He was on the floor the next year as a senior. I moved off campus and two years later, I saw him at Welch Ave. Station. I asked him how it was going and found out he was still in school, but had finally moved out of the dorms that year.

I saw his roommate at a wedding a year later and he said the guy was still in school. As far as I know, he never even got a masters degree, but did have a couple undergrads. Not sure how it works. I always figured finally the school would tell you it’s time to leave.

I'm guessing if you are progressing in a degree program and your check doesn't bounce- the school will welcome you.

As long as your check doesn’t bounce is what they care about.
