I guess all I can say is that it’s not that simple. Some injuries have defined timetables. Some injuries “healthy” is a matter of degree and re-injury risk. In the latter situation, some games are worth playing, others aren’t.

I’m not so sure what’s so hard to understand here. Yale faced the same situation last year. Bruner’s was easy because it fell into that first bucket - done for the year. Mason’s was harder because it fell into the second bucket. Every day made him stronger and less likely to re-injure the foot, so there could be no “defined” timetable. So, he ended up being day-to-day (like Aiken was last year) for over a month before he tried to come back and they realized it wasn’t going to work.

What I’m confused by is the overtone of nefariousness in what Harvard is doing here. I usually can at least understand the arguments being made on fan boards, but I’ll be honest, this one surprises me.
