After months (and months) of waiting for a final ruling, we finally know that Drew Ott has played his last snap for the Iowa Hawkeyes. As first reported by Blair Sanderson at Hawkeye Report, the NCAA denied Ott's final appeal last night.

Ott was attempting to obtain a fifth year of eligibility after missing over half the 2015 season with series elbow and knee injuries. Ott needed a waiver to get that fifth year of eligibility because he played in six of Iowa's 13 regular-season games (the Big Ten Championship Game is counted as a regular-season game), or 46% of Iowa's games last year.
