Kyler Erickson granted 6th year of eligibility

[khoock]

UNO gaurd Kyler Erickson was granted a 6th year of eligibility today on the basis that PTSD (witnessed Millard South school shooting a few years ago) caused him to lose a year. Very interesting precedent being set here. Here is his time line:

-RFr. year at NW Missouri State

-Fr. year at NW Missouri State (transfers to UNO in off season)

-So. year at UNO. He is ineligible to play and loses year of eligibility.

-Jr. and Sr. year at UNO.

Ericksons argument was that he lost a year of eligibility due to circumstances out of his control. He needed to be at home to help cope with PTSD and get treatment.

Thought this might be an interesting and local topic to discuss. Thoughts?
