NCAA medical disqualifications are often complicated

When Syracuse Orange tight end Gabe Horan was announced as medically disqualified due to concussions, the initial reaction was that his concussion history must have been worse than anyone knew.

That reaction might be a little different after today’s story from Nate Mink on Syracuse.com. It seems as though Horan and his family felt that his recovery went well enough that a December meeting with Syracuse medical staff would not be the time when his Orange career would be declared to be over.

“We didn’t even know that was what the subject was going to be,” Horan’s mother Angela said.
