“Pulling a scholarship offer due to an injury.”
Let’s visit the facts here. He still held a scholarship to come to the University of Michigan, just not to play football.
Before his senior year, coaching staff told him they wanted him rehabbing his knee rather than playing. He had the scholarship offer, he didn’t need to prove them anything more.
He did not do this. He played football, and tore his ACL for the 3rd time.
That’s serious damage to an ACL. The kid probably shouldn’t be playing football anymore. Medical staff didn’t clear him. They told him they’d put him on a medical scholarship.
They did this early enough in the recruiting process, he can still select any school he wants that is still willing to take him.
I don’t think Michigan did anything wrong here. I’d rather have this upfront method than what happened to that 4 star DB at OSU, when he enrolled early, got on campus, then they put him on medical, he transfered. He’s going to Auburn next year.
Considering the way the events unfolded, I do not believe the Michigan staff did wrong by Falcon.
