If you haven’t heard already, Minnesota defensive back Craig McDonald was approved for immediate eligibility this week. Much like Tez Walker, McDonald was kept off of the football field due to the 11th hour two-time transfer rule that was put into place earlier this year. If one were to present this situation to an outside third-party, it’s expected that they would ask what the difference is in these two cases. McDonald played at Iowa State and Auburn, so why does he get to play for this third school but Walker doesn’t?
Honestly, we may never get the answer to that question.
