Syracuse's Terrel Hunt asks NCAA again for one more year

Syracuse quarterback Terrel Hunt wants the NCAA to reconsider its decision to deny him what he has always wanted: a chance to play football.

In November, he was told he could no longer do so because he failed to qualify for a medical hardship waiver. Though Hunt has missed 18 games over the last two season with injuries, the reason for the denial is straight from the NCAA rulebook -- he played in too many games his junior season, when he broke his leg in his fifth game. When he tore his Achilles' tendon to open 2015, Hunt thought it would be a "no brainer" for the NCAA to grant him a sixth season to play.
