I don’t know if the situation is different with our men’s basketball team. But I absolutely love the way John Beilein handled the Austin Hatch situation. Austin Hatch is seriously injured and is no longer able to play basketball on a competitive level but JB still allows him to play one season of D1 Men’s Basketball.
The way I see it, the Matt Falcon situation is quite different. I think it would not surprise anyone if he make a recovery and become a good pro-prospect. If I were him, I would feel quite bitter with Michigan pulling my football scholarship over an injury while playing football. While it is true that he would not be able to play immediately, there is nothing to prevent him from being able to play top-level football in 2 year’s time.
