That's cold blooded C.

Hope he heals well, should still be ready to rock and roll by this season.

I won't even state the obvious.

That Brian Kelly hit it with a hammer after he missed a blitz pick-up?

I'm thinking it, but don't have balls to type it. :/

Never want to see anyone get hurt, the actions of the NCAA and Amir's father gave Carlisle a bad name.

Incredible roller-coaster for him, from substantial playing time at RB with a proven team. Then his father uproots him and has to prove himself at ND and he gets injured before his chance. His father forced him to move, and seemed to get some repercussion for it.

The NCAA continues to show lack of consistency and transparency while coming to case conclusions. Joshua Shaw should already have been accepted his transfer.

Wow...sorry to hear that. I assume it was on the more severe side of ankle breaks?

I would imagine there is a significant degree of variance in ankle injury recovery time...with a legitimate chance the person never gets back to 100%.

Worst part about sports....sucks.

I have no ill feelings towards Amir. He seems like a good kid who is just being influences. Sad to hear this.

Now if anyone from the NCAA suffered this injury...

I wish him the opposite of a speedy recovery.

If so, there would have been a massive person having a massive heart attack in Miami, and a large office going up in flames in Indianapolis.

Karma? For transferring schools because he didn't like USC/wanted to be closer to family?

sometimes....looks can be deceiving

Understood. IMO, he didn't "quit" per se. Notre Dame was one of his top schools coming out of high school and if he wanted to be closer to his family, a 2.5 hour drive from ND to Purdue is a hell of a lot closer (and cheaper) than a flight from L.A. That is a much more manageable trip each weekend (if necessary). Notre Dame is superior to Purdue both academically and athletically. Also, I've read he didn't enjoy himself at USC, so I can't fault him for leaving.

Unless there is more to the story that neither of us knows, I'm sure we are on the same page with the whole waiver being granted ordeal (which is that we both think he should be sitting this year, not able to play). But otherwise, as a guy whose family was in the Midwest while I was at USC, I can definitely relate to wanting to see family, but not being able to because of the distance. There were a few weekends it would have been nice to drive home, and I don't consider a 2.5 hour drive real long.

Just my

If he wanted to be closer to his family then why did he pick USC in the first place?
