There is a lot of chatter over at Scout forums that Aram Olson will be granted a medical waiver, stay in school on scholarship, but not count against the 85 limit.
I assume that because he is still listed on the Scholarship Breakdown by Position that this is not official.
I saw him at the Spring game, in street clothes, wearing his #43 jersey, but not involved in any action.
It seems like one more available scholarship would give some incentive to walk ons to excel and potentially pick up that last scholly for 2008-2009.

Mich like Devin Jordan I'm sure. Olson is done for good. His injuries will prevent him from playing football any longer.

Since we have kids like Bauserman and J Boren who will not take up schollies but are clearly scholarship caliber perhaps we need a new convention - like putting them in parens. If we do that with all the walk-ons the chart gets cluttered, but for these special few....

This is your baby, Oh8ch, so your wish is my command. Since Bauserman and J Boren are slightly different situations, putting them both in parentheses may lead to confusion. So instead, I'll put a number next to each with a footnote explanation at the bottom, sort of like:
Bauserman(1)
J Boren(2)
SPECIAL-CASE NON-SCHOLARSHIP PLAYERS
(1) Paying his own way via minor league baseball program
(2) Transferred from Michigan in 2008 after playing two years there
I want to call them something different than simple walk-on equivalents because they are indeed different from usual walk-ons.

So will Boren have two years of eligibility or one after he sits out a year? It seems like your chart implies that he'll only have one year.
I thought that Boren was in the 2006 class, did not redshirt, used two years of eligibility at Michigan. How does it work? Is 2008 a wasted year and then he has two more years left of eligibility? or is 2008 one year of his eligibility and then he has only one left in 2009?
