In his first public comments since suffering a season-ending ACL tear in Brazil last week, USC senior guard Jio Fontan said Tuesday that he plans to apply for a medical hardship waiver that will allow him to play an additional season at USC.
Not that surprising. Here's where it gets interesting:
In January, Fontan told The Times he planned to file an appeal with the NCAA for an additional season of eligibility for his sophomore season in 2009-10 at Fordham in which he played five games before deciding to transfer.
If the NCAA grants him a waiver for his injury this season and grants his appeal for an additional season for his shortened sophomore season, he could be at USC for two more full seasons.
"There's a possibility, you never know, I could end up with two more years, I could end up with one more year," he told school officials Tuesday.
